“For I'm a Karamazov. For when I do leap into the pit, I go headlong with my heels up, and am pleased to be falling in that degrading attitude, and pride myself upon it. And in the very depths of that degradation I begin a hymn of praise.” — Fyodor Dostoevsky; Translator-Richard Pevear; Translator-Larissa Volokhonsky
