Fyodor Dostoyevsky Quote

We've all grown unaccustomed to life, we're all lame, each of us more or less. We've even grown so unaccustomed that at times we feel a sort of loathing for real living life, and therefore cannot bear to be reminded of it. For we've reached a point where we regard real living life almost as a labor, almost as a service, and we all agree in ourselves that it's better from a book.
