“Oh but we are art,” I say as I turn to the sun

THEY WOULD

Dostoevsky just sat around writing children as absolute angels who are corrupted by the bad influence the world has on them, writing about their helplessness, their frustrations with the adult systems and asked us to create a better world for them, to be kind, to be understanding and compassionate, so the little ones have joy and how love is a teacher and you must foster it in your heart or the kids will not have love, my guy fyodor was really onto something I think we should talk about this more

the line “your worst sin is that you’ve betrayed and destroyed yourself for nothing” is so raw you’d think it’s from a destiel fanfic or even hetalia but it’s actually from dostoyevskys crime and punishment

dorian gray was so dedicated to intense emotion that he became a remorseless killer and rodion romanovitch raskolnikov was so dedicated to being a remorseless killer that he became intensely emotional

hes a 10 but he lays on the couch in a feverish delirium every day

LOVE dostoevsky's commitment to writing about sick people. Not just like, chronically ill people but i love how 80% of his characters are just are sickly guys who you take one look at and think. Yeah that's a sickly man. He is Unwell

leave me alone i’m thinking about these two quotes; “for you, a thousand times over” and “a man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing. it isn't like a mother's womb. it won't bleed. it won't stretch to make room for you”

“I will follow you to the ends of the world” and “kiss aziza for me. tell her she is the noor of my eyes and the sultan of my heart.” or “learn this now and learn it well. like a compass facing north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman. always. you remember that, mariam.”
