"The apology and confession of a minor mid-19th century Russian official, NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND, is a half-desperate, half-mocking political critique and a powerful, at times absurdly comical, account of man's breakaway from society and descent 'undeground'"

“I am a sick man... I am a wicked man. An unattractive man.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski
“Once it's been proved to you that you're descended from an ape, it's no use pulling a face; just accept it. Once they've proved to you that a single droplet of your own fat must be dearer to you than a hundred thousand of your fellow human beings and consequently that all so-called virtues and duties are nothing but ravings and prejudices, then accept that too, because there's nothing to be done.”
