About Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground “The novels of Dostoevsky are seething whirlpools, gyrating sandstorms, waterspouts that hiss and boil and suck us in.

They are composed purely and wholly of the stuff of the soul.

Against our wills we are drawn in, whirled round, blinded, suffocated, and at the same time filled with a giddy rapture. . . . Men are at the same time villains and saints; their acts are at once beautiful and despicable. . . . It is all the same to him whether you are noble or simple, a tramp or a great lady.

Whoever you are, you are the vessel of this perplexed liquid, this cloudy, yeasty, precious stuff, the soul.” —Virginia Woolf
