    an extraordinary first novel

    To think that Dostoevsky wrote Poor Folk when he was twenty-five--it's just incredible. No wonder that he was proclaimed and hailed as a great novelist from the start. Poor Folk is a great work, but it is not his best. The best was yet to come.

    The Brothers Brothers Karamazov is the best to me.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
