Reasons Dostoevsky is my new favourite author:

"He's stupid, I won't dispute that, but then, maybe a normal man is supposed to be stupid; what makes you think he isn't? Perhaps that's the great beauty of it."

"I'm willing to agree that twice-two-makes-four is a thing of beauty. But, if we're going to praise everything like that, then I say that twice-two-makes-five is also a delightful little item now and then."

"Of course my jokes are in poor taste, inappropriate, and confused; they reveal my lack of security. But that is because I have no respect for myself."

"Reason is only reason, and it only satisfies man's rational requirements. Desire, on the other hand, is the manifestation of life itself - of all of life - and it encompasses everything from reason down to scratching oneself."

Finally, an essay topic I find at least mildly entertaining.
