Literary Heritage

Надо, чтобы за дверью каждого довольного, счастливого человека стоял кто-нибудь с молоточком и постоянно напоминал бы стуком, что есть несчастные.

/Nado, chtoby za dver'yu kazhdogo dovol'nogo, schastlivogo cheloveka stoyal kto-nibud' s molotochkom i postoyanno napominal by stukom, chto est' neschastnye./

There ought to be a man with a hammer behind the door of every happy, contented person, constantly knocking to remind them that there are unhappy people.
