Best to Let Dostoevsky Explain...


"I'm a Karamazov ... when I fall into the abyss, I go straight into it, head down and heels up, and I'm even pleased that I'm falling in such a humiliating position, and for me I find it beautiful. And so in that very shame I suddenly begin a hymn. Let me be cursed, let me be base and vile, but let me also kiss the hem of that garment in which my God is clothed; let me be following the devil at the same time, but still I am also your son, Lord, and I love you, and I feel a joy without which the world cannot stand and be." {The.Brothers.Karamazov.BookIII.ChapterIII.}


"Love life more than the meaning of it..." {The Brothers.Karamazov.BookV.ChapterIII.}
