I am not done with Karamazov, not by a long shot. But really, I can't quote the whole text. Can I? No. Certainly not. Today, then, the ravings of a syphillitic madman:
sympathetic resonance--...one speaks of the moral feelings, of the religious feelings, as though these were simple unities: in truth, however, they are rivers with a hundred tributaries and sources. Here, too, as so often, the unity of the word is no guarantee of the unity of the thing.
Book One, Part One, Aphorism 14, Human All Too Human
To confess what is obvious, then: I've started to use this blog to collect quotes about compassion and shame. I'm sorry if this isn't useful to you. I'm sure things will evolve if you hang in here.
A reward for you patience: Califone's The Orchids.
