Quotes by Gary Saul Morson (?)

“We all enjoy evil, or why would there be so much of it? Most derives from people like us. Thinking of it as superhuman or alien allows us to persist in it.”

“The peculiarly intense sense of drama and 'eventness' that rivets the attention of Dostoevsky's readers results from their intuitive sense that the author is learning about the characters as much as they are.”
― Gary Saul Morson, Wonder Confronts Certainty: Russian Writers on the Timeless Questions and Why Their Answers Matter

tags: characters-in-books, dostoevsky

“If one has ever wondered how an entire nation could have followed a murderous leader, one needs to understand that it doesn't take that many people actually believing what the leader says. They just need to be willing to repeat whatever their side is saying.”
― Gary Saul Morson, Minds Wide Shut: How the New Fundamentalisms Divide Us
