I found that #TheBrothersKaramazov is a philosophically dense, emotionally evocative, thought provoking page turner. Now one of the things I loved about this book and of other #fyodordostoyevsky #books that I have read, is the brilliant characterisation. Some of the themes explored in the book are the conflict of faith (or a lack thereof) and the question of morality and free will. I love this book! More on my bookwyrm linked.

Simple words which we would all do well to remember:
"We are not long on this earth, we do many evil deeds and say many evil words. And therefore let us all seize the favorable moment of our being together in order to say a good word to each other as well."-Fetyukovich from #TheBrothersKaramazov by #fyodordostoyevsky #bookquotesilike #bookquotes #books #reading #amreading #readingforpleasure #bookstodon @bookstodon

Defense Attorney Fetyukovich is giving me #poirot vibes with his use of psychology, lol.
"Well, so you see on the one hand the man was not cautious enough, he lost his head, got frightened, and ran away leaving evidence on the floor, but when two minutes later he strikes and kills another man, then all at once the most heartless and calculating sense of caution comes to our service." from #TheBrothersKaramazov #fyodordostoyevsky @bookstodon #books #reading #agathachristie

For context, these lines refer to people shouting and unburdening themselves in taverns. I think these lines are a fitting testament to the state of social media now. A very astute comment on the unchanging nature of human behaviour over time.
This quote is taken from The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
