"Reality is infinitely diverse, compared with even the subtlest conclusions of abstract thought, and does not allow of clear-cut and sweeping distinctions. Reality resists classification."
~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky (The House of the Dead)

"I am angry, I am ill and I'm as ugly as sin,
my irritability keeps me alive and kicking …"
(Just great lines for your suburban teenage angst!)
"The more cunning a man is, the less he suspects that he will be caught in a simple thing. The more cunning a man is, the simpler the trap he must be caught in." — Fyodor Dostoyevsky — — — #FyodorDostoyevsky #quote #quotes #cunning #trap #complicated #simple #simplicity #catch #crime

Une femme douce [A Gentle Woman / A Gentle Creature] (Robert Bresson, 1969)
Mar

National Write Your Story Day
Dominique Sanda as “elle” – “she” – a nameless woman. She peers out of a window, her face partially obscured by the muntin. DP: Ghislain Cloquet.
A young woman jumps out of a window, leaving behind her husband, an #antiques dealer. Sitting in their bedroom with the body lying in state, the widower remembers her. In his memory, she is nameless, abstract, a state not a life..
Une femme douce is closely adapted from Fyodor #Dostoyevsky Кроткая [Krotkaya / A Gentle Creature] (1876).

It is not the distribution of wealth that is obligatory or the putting on of work clothes: all this is only a letter and a formality; what is obligatory and important is your determination to do everything for the sake of active love, everything that is possible for you, that you genuinely recognise as possible for yourself.
They call me a psychologist: not true, I am only a realist in the highest sense, I describe all the depths of the human soul.
I like Leo Tolstoy very much, but, in my opinion, he won't write much (however, maybe I'm wrong).
#FyodorDostoyevsky 1856
Dostoevsky has strange manners, strange language. All the faces express themselves in the same language... His faces do original things all the time, and at the end you get used to it and the originality becomes vulgarity. He takes the most serious matters out of the way, mixing them up with the romantic...
There were demonic writers in Russian literature, real demons; there were two of them (Nikolai Gogol and Mikhail Lermontov), and how we loved them, how we still love and appreciate them.
#FyodorDostoyevsky #books #bookstodon #NikolaiGogol #MikhailLermontov
Nikolai Gogol is a gigantic genius, but he is also dumb as a genius.
Nikolai Gogol laughed all his life both at himself and at us, and we all laughed at him, laughed so much that at last we began to cry from our laughter.
Having in mind something immovable, everlasting, strong, with which you are terribly preoccupied, you seem to move away from the whole world into the desert, and everything that happens passes only in passing, past the main thing.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky in the short story "Mr. Proharchin" about the patience of Russian people:
- You understand, you understand only, you ram you: I am humble, today humble, tomorrow humble, and then unhumble, rude: and went freethinker.
But what if this fog breaks up and goes up, will not this whole rotten, slimy city (Saint Petersburg) go with it, rise with the fog and disappear like smoke, and the former Finnish swamp will remain, and in the middle of it, perhaps, for beauty, a bronze horseman on a hot-breathing, broken horse?

Chatsky (the character in Griboyedov's Woe from Wit) is a very special type of Russian European, the type that is sweet, enthusiastic, suffering, calling out for Russia and its traditions, and yet still left again for Europe when it was necessary to seek:
- Where there is a corner for the offended feeling...
