Hi Sam
I've never read Dostoevsky, but I have tried to investigate this one.
I have found in a few places people saying that this isn't a Dostoevsky quote & one person saying it is actually from Master and Margherita by Michail Bulgakov - which I also haven't read. Someone else said it is from Tik tok!
I have tried to tag it as attributed no source, but this website is really playing up for me & I don't know if it has taken.
Edit: no it hasn't worked. I'll try again later.
Other librarians: I thought I may not be able to edit the tags because the name was just the surname & not the usual spelling of Dostoevsky in English. I was able to change that but still couldn't add the attributed no source tag. I then successfully removed the punishment tag, but still can't add other tags.Any suggestions? (other than outright deleting)
Edit: If another librarian can add the attributed no source tag, feel free!
It worked for me just now. I had trouble loading Goodreads pages earlier today; I wonder if there was a glitch causing problems.
