we persist!

Can’t say I’m that surprised that two of the bleakest chapters I’ve read on the nature of guilt, conscience, and the finality of death were written by Dostoyevsky ✌️

Save “The Devil. Ivan Fyodorovich’s Nightmare” and “He Said That” for when you want to feel something (dark)!!!

“Besides, nowadays practically all men of ability are horribly scared of being ridiculous, and are so much the more miserable because of it.” (713)

Only took 570 pages but folks, we FINALLY have a murder !!
