And here almost three months have passed, and I have spent my time so idly and unprofitably.
Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, Leo View in context
Then the wretched boy looked cautiously up and found her gone, crept out of bed, fastened his door, and threw himself upon his pillow again: tearing his hair, morosely crying, grudgingly loving her, hatefully but impenitently spurning himself, and no less hatefully and unprofitably spurning all the good in the world.
Hard Times by Dickens, Charles View in context
