“Science teaches us that every pleasure exacts a price, and the pain that follows is longer lasting and more intense than the pleasure that gave rise to it.”

This book made me realize how much of an addicts we are.

“By protecting our children from adversity, have we made them deathly afraid of it”

Damn.

Today, many parents I see are terrified of doing or saying something that will leave their child with an emotional scar, thereby setting them up, so the thinking goes, for emotional suffering and even mental illness in later life.

This book represents addition in an amazing way, and really easy to read and grasp.

I am incapable of living in the same room with any one for two days together,
as I know by experience. As soon as any one is near me, his personality disturbs my self-complacency and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he's too long over his dinner; another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close.

"I love humanity; he said, 'but I wonder at myself. The more I love humanity in general, the less I love man in particular."

I cannot agree more.

" I'm short, I am a hired servant. I expect my payment at once—That is praise and the repayment of Love With Love. Otherwise I am incapable of loving anyone."

I’ve decided to read this to help me look for my own path after graduation, it’s doing good so far :)

After finally finishing finals and my break, I’m ready to get back to this work of art. Stay tuned for the update :)

"He completely abandoned the child of his marriage with Adelaida Ivanovna, not from malice, nor because of his matrimonial grievances, but simply because he forgot him"

I can only predict that Dostoevsky's writing style, it will be filled with depression and will always make me feel like I'm in the mud. Yet, I love how he writes so much.

الكتاب دا من أكتر الكُتب العبثية الّي قرأتها ف حياتي
هو ازّاي عدّى الرقابة بكل الّي فيه دا؟
على الرغم من كل دا هو كتاب مُضحك بصراحة

"When I can get someone, I have to leave them before they leave me, because I'm not enough and I'm about to be found out, but when someone I want doesn't choose me, that just proves I'm not enough and I've been found out. Heads they win, tails I lose."
Nice one Matty, you can really hurt me :).
