Pedro Salinas, tr. by Ruth Katz Crispin, from Memory in my Hands: The Love Poetry of Pedro Salinas; “Long Lament (Love, The World in Danger)”

[Text ID: “Love, love, love. / Because who has ever known / if it creates or consumes? / And whether when it burns us / it’s exalting us to flame, / or willing us to be ashes?”]

I have a fixation with big spoon!Harry

— Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

[text ID: We’re always thinking of eternity as an idea that cannot be understood, something immense. But why must it be? What if, instead of all this, you suddenly find just a little room there, something like a village bath-house, grimy, and spiders in every corner, and that’s all eternity is. Sometimes, you know, I can’t help feeling that that’s what it is.]

— The Thing Is, Ellen Bass

[text ID: to love life, to love it even / when you have no stomach for it]

Albert Camus

It's a little hard to explain, it can be what you hate and love the most at the same time.

  — Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, 21 July 1882

[text ID: What I want and have as my aim is infernally difficult to achieve, and yet I don't think I am raising my sights too high. I want to make drawings that touch some people.]

Albert Camus // Jack Kerouac

God these lyrics... Incredible

“I wish I could say everything in one word. I hate all the things that can happen between the beginning of a sentence and the end.”

— Leonard Cohen

absolute love corrupts absolutely

— Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

[text ID:   Yesterday I advised you not to write me every day, I still hold the same opinion today and it would be very good for both of us, and so I repeat my advice today even more emphatically- only please, Milena, don't listen to me, and write me every day anyway, it can even be very brief, briefer than today's letters, just 2 lines, just one, just one word, but if I had to go without them I would suffer terribly.]

the whole of my heart is an infinite cauldron of honey, for you. remove myself to make room. to house you with these bones as tired as blue ocean. im a good beggar. have the teeth for it. knelt to you for my knighting. waiting, a trembling dog, for you to name me beloved or beheaded. the weight of the world in your yes, in your hurricane decision. no sugar runs over. i clean my mouth after every kiss. i clean my wounds like ritual. this cauldron of honey, where flies sink & drown. this brittle collection of limbs ive coddled for you to make a bed out of. my loathing made small & menial in the shadow of your love. dwarfed by the hands you cast over me. your hands, touching me, that could smother any fire, could clench quick as a snake strike. your hands polishing me until i bleed honey into the mattress.

Silas Denver Melvin, from Grit: Poems; “Backdrop made beautiful by pity”

"...the only psychologist from whom I have anything to learn." - Nietzsche

"Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist, more than Gauss." - Albert Einstein

"So great is the worth of Dostoevsky that to have produced him is by itself sufficient justification for the existence of the Russian people in the world: and he will bear witness for his country-men at the last judgement of the nations." - Nikolay Berdyaev

"...a prophet of God," and "mystical seer." - Vladimir Solvyov

"He lived in literature." - Konstantin Mochulsky

"Russia's evil genius" - Maxim Gorky

"...the Shakespeare of the lunatic asylum" - Count Melchoir de Vogue

"...an author whose Christian sympathy is ordinarily devoted to human misery, sin, vice, the depths of lust and crime, rather than to nobility of body and soul" - Thomas Mann

"Dostoevsky was human in that 'all too human' sense of Nietzsche. He wrings our withers when he unrolls his scroll of life." -Henry Miller

"He who gets nearer the sun is leader, the aristocrat of aristocrats, or he who, like Dostoevsky, gets nearest the moon of our non-being." - D. H. Lawrence

"Dostoyevsky wrote of the unconscious as if it were conscious; that is in reality the reason why his characters seem 'pathological', while they are only visualized more clearly than any other figures in imaginative literature... He was in the rank in which we set Dante, Shakespeare and Goethe." - Edwin Muir
