“They Were Only Speaking The Part Of God That They Themselves Could Glimpse. And This Truth Was Only

seeing that dostoyevsky quote circulated as a tumblr deep quote that’s like “your worst sin is you have destroyed yourself for nothing” or whatever annoys me to no end bc 1) context is raskolnikov telling sonya that her trauma of being forced into prostitution to keep her family from starving is worth nothing because she will never save them which is kind of a thesis the book disproves over and over again as its main theme and 2) that’s rich coming from someone who axe murdered two women because he didn’t leave the house for a few weeks and came up with a theory that said it was ok actually

James Baldwin.

raskolnikov would do numbers on tumblr

"I exist as I am, that is enough,

If no other in the world be aware I sit content,

And if each and all be aware I sit content.

One world is aware and by far the largest to me,

and that is myself..."

Walt Whitman
