Fyodor Dostoevsky Quotes

Is it true that you insisted you knew no difference in beauty between some brutal sensual stunt and any great deed, even the sacrifice of life for mankind? Is it true that you found a coincidence in beauty, a sameness of pleasure at both poles?
...You married out of a passion for torture, out of a passion for remorse, out of moral sensuality.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
