Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot

— A. Y.

Not to make any sense but Charlie from TPOBAW would listen to Alex G if he was living rn.

i think we all just need to feel listened to and cared about and possibly to get laid more

Franz Kafka, the metamorphosis / Jane Austen

a reminder for the next time a man calls you hot and you think that shit's romantic:

Dostoevsky once said "She tortures me, tortures me with her love... in the past it was only that infernal body of her's that tortured me, but now I've taken all her soul into my soul and through her I've become a man"

and Kafka once said "in a way, you are poetry material; you are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality"

I'm afraid that I will never get over the sheer genius of translating 'The Importance of Being Earnest' to Czech as 'Jak je důležité míti Filipa'

*me at the club* so does anyone wanna discuss queer undertones in classic literature?
