I think about this quote in a different way. Although it only relates to the character, living without a story might be very hard. Perhaps the stories are what make life feel rich or meaningful, even if it's just for us.

― Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights

All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

‘I have nothing to forget or forgive, I never ceased to love you.'

[tolstoesky]

it’s very funny to me that when dostoevsky was coming up with verkhovensky’s character he was all like “i’m going to make a villain. a true demon. this man is pure evil. he represents everything that is wrong with russia. he isn’t capable of love or being loved.” and then created this gay little twink of a man with daddy issues and a toxic crush

introducing one of my challenges/reading goals for next year (heavily inspired by emmie on youtube)

— after having an extremely mid reading year this year, i'm hoping to focus on quality over quantity in 2024. for me, this means reading a lot of bucket list books. i'm so excited to check off a couple of classic tomes from my tbr!!

i'll also be doing an in-depth analysis or review on my substack, and a highlight on my instagram for live updates (if anyone wants to join me, the schedule is above <3)

Dostoevsky knew a lot, but not everything. For example, he thought that if you kill a person, you will become Raskolnikov. And we now know that you can kill five, ten, a hundred people and go to the theater in the evening.

Anna Akhmatova
