The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky
5.0
It was the very first time I read a novel related to psychological aspects and philosophy like this, and the way Dostoevsky marked his profound writing style and its depth over me. I can say that The Idiot has been one of my favorite novels. Solid 4.5/5!
Some of the many learned points from my reading of this novel are:
Suffering is conclusive.
Not every shining element represents true beauty.
Only being conscious can save you.
Resentment would not always take you towards hating. Somewhat, it clarifies visions.
The imagination is more scary than achieving reality.
The more you try to forget it, the more you will remember it.
Accepting differences is not easy. It's almost an everyday struggle.
Your good heart will make you win, eventually.
Only say when the worth of your words is counted.
Will your grief matter if your happiness surpasses the scale?
And here is one of my favorite quotes from the book:
"And why, too, on waking up and fully returning to reality, do you feel almost every time, and sometimes with extraordinary intensity, that you have left something unexplained behind with the dream?"
