Fyodor Dostoyevsky Quotes

Oh, If Only I Did Nothing Simply As A Result Of Laziness. Lord, How I'd Respect Myself Then. I'd Respect Myself Precisely Because At Least I'd Be Capable Of Being Lazy; At Least I'd Possess One More Or Less Positive Trait Of Which I Could Be Certain. Question: Who Am I? Answer: A Sluggard. Why, It Would Have Been Very Pleasant To Hear That Said About Oneself. It Would Mean That I'd Been Positively Identified; It Would Mean That There Was Something To Be Said About Me. "A Sluggard!" Why, That's A Calling And A Vocation, A Whole Career! Don't Joke, It's True. Then, By Rights I'd Be A Member Of The Very Best Club And Would Occupy Myself Exclusively By Being Able To Respect Myself Continually.
