Can you imagine if Rodion Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment was alive today and asked about his hobbies?
Dude would literally say:
* sleeping on the couch
* fainting
* becoming manic
* definitely not committing murder

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”
-Soren Kierkegaard
“A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying — to others and to yourself.”
-Fyodor Dostoyevsky

I still remember the moment I looked back and stared as you walked away that December night.
It had been 3am. Neither of us wanted to part, but our flights were in a few hours. You had told me go first. You didn’t want me to see you leave. But I did pause by the stairs and I did turn around and I did watch you leave. And I will never forget the sight of your back walking back down the street.
RIP Dostoyevsky, he would have loved bed rotting

“Соврать по-своему – ведь это почти лучше, чем правда по одному по-чужому; в первом случае ты человек, а во втором ты только что птица!”
