Notes From The Underground

“Man is so addicted to systems and to abstract conclusions that he is prepared deliberately to distort the truth, to close his eyes and ears, but justify his logic at all cost.”

“Sometimes we desire absolute nonsense because in our stupidity we see in this nonsense the easiest way of attaining some conjectural good.”

— Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes From the Underground (via whyallcaps)
