Quick sketches of the Karamazov brothers! ❤️
Brothers Karamazov is an amazing psychological exploration of character because it showcases three terrible yet very common mental illnesses: the saviour complex (Alyosha), the superiority complex (Ivan) and being an extrovert (Dmitri) 😔
Fyodor Dostoyevsky "The Brothers Karamazov"
“I think I could stand anything, any suffering, only to be able to say and to repeat to myself every moment, 'I exist.' In thousands of agonies -- I exist. I'm tormented on the rack -- but I exist! Though I sit alone in a pillar -- I exist! I see the sun, and if I don't see the sun, I know it's there. And there's a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there.”
This is my absolute most favourite quotes by one of my favourite authors. I've been reading the brothers Karamazov for a while now and it has gotten a special place in my heart. As much as I love Alyosha I cannot ignore Ivan's rational side. I believe the same with what he said on the suffering of children but have other views on other things talked in the novel. I want to finish it so badly but school is killing me 24/7 at the moment
