|  | The Paris of Siberia Many inhabitants of Siberia are exiles or descendants of exiles... this included many intellectuals creating an air of intellectuality far away from Europe.... |

We grow more candid as we grow up.
There is fate to thank for that.

If we see people differently
than we saw them before,
if we discover
something new in them,
then that means
it surfaced first in ourselves. |
