“Pain and suffering are always obligatory for someone with broad intellect and deep feeling. Truly great individuals, it seems to me, must experience great sorrow in this world.”

“People are divided in general into two categories: the lower category (ordinary), that is, so to speak, material serving solely for the purpose of reproducing the species, and into people proper, that is, those who possess the gift or talent of uttering some new word in their milieu.”

“The living soul demands life; the living soul doesn’t heed the laws of mechanics; the living soul is suspect; the living soul is reactionary! Even if their social system can be made out of rubber and smells a bit like carrion— it’s still not alive, it has no will, its slavish, it doesn’t rebel! … The entire secret of life fits on two sheets of printer’s paper!”

“Just imagine, Rodya, what they were going on about yesterday: is there such a thing as crime or not?”

Sorrow, sorrow is what I sought in its depths, sorrow and tears, and I found them and tasted of them; but she who had pitied all men and who has understood everyone and everything, He will take pity on us; He and no one else; He is the judge.”

“And then I saw, young man, I saw how Katerina Ivanova, also without saying a word, went up to Sonechka’s bed and knelt there all evening, kissing her feet; she was unable to stand, and then, embracing, they both fell asleep together…. both of them… both of them.”

“Silverman’s aperture does not seem wide enough to include an enjoyment that doesn’t derive from filling a void, or love that is not merely balm for a wound. So far as I can tell, most worthwhile pleasures on this earth slip between gratifying another and gratifying oneself.”
