KNOW THYSELF. Rudeness is merely the expression of fear. People fear they won't get what they want. The most dreadful and unattractive person only needs to be loved and they will open up like a flower. -The Grand Budapest Hotel "What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love." -The Brothers Karamzov "Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?" ― Friedrich Nietzsche All is change in the world of the senses, But changeless is the supreme Lord of Love. Meditate on him, be absorbed by him, Wake up from this dream of separateness. -Shvetashvatara Upanishad I made this quote book so that I can always have some quote with me, so I don't lost them and where I can put them.

The Idiot By Foydor Dostoevsky , Dostoevsky produced this masterpiece just two years after completing Crime and Punishment. In it, a saintly man, Prince Myshkin, is thrust into the heart of a society more concerned with wealth, power and sexual conquest than with the ideals of Christianity. Myshkin soon finds himself at the center of a violent love triangle in which a notorious woman and a beautiful young girl become rivals for his affections. Extortion, scandal and murder follow, testing Myshkin's moral feelings as Dostoevsky searches through the wreckage left by human misery to find "man in man." The Idiot is a quintessentially Russian novel, one that penetrates the complex psyche of the Russian people. "They call me a psychologist," wrote Dostoevsky. "That is not true. I'm only a realist in the higher sense; that is, I portray all the depths of the human soul."
