“I’ll obey you! I won’t think of it ... I worship you!” muttered Mitya.
A MAN

This book is so so so relatable. I feel deeply connected and finding myself in each of the characters.

This part with Pyotr and Dmitri is so freaking funny

Haven't been reading cause I don't want this to end. I'm at 51% and I already can tell this is an absolute top 2 all time favorite. This is extraordinary.

“The mines? The gold‐mines?” Mitya shouted at the top of his voice and went off into a roar of laughter. “Would you like to go to the mines, Perhotin? There’s a lady here who’ll stump up three thousand for you, if only you’ll go. She did it for me, she’s so awfully fond of gold‐mines. Do you know Madame Hohlakov?”

Dmitri is so funny and sassy, I actually went into a roar of laughter as well.

I feel as though I've breezed through the first 30 or so percent of the book, but right now literally every two or three pages there is a sentence so profound, so touching, so, even life changing, that I have to keep stopping, let it sit with me, admire it, just go through it.

Ivan is the single character I’ve ever found the deepest reflection of myself in. I have never identified with a character more than I have with Ivan.

"Besides, too high a price is asked for harmony; it's beyond our means to pay so much to enter on it. And so I hasten to give back my entrance ticket, and if I am an honest man I am bound to give it back as soon as possible. And that I am doing. It's not God that I don't accept, Alyosha, only I most respectfully return him the ticket."

CHEF'S KISS!!!!! Someone finally freaking gets me. YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been stuck rereading the conversation between Alyosha and Ivan for so long. That is so wonderful. So wonderful, but not just 'wonderful'; it's much more, it's out of this world. It touches your heart so so deeply.
