Dostoevsky Quote

"Much unhappiness has come into the world because of things left unsaid"  -Fyodor Dostoevsky 

This quote immediately caught my eye because of how strongly it reminded me of Raskolnikov, the novel's protagonist. Throughout the story, we see that the downfall of Raskolnikov's character results from his overwhelming feelings of regret and unhappiness that are caused by his guilt over the murders. If Raskolnikov would just confess for what he has done, his unhappiness would diminish because he will have finally received the punishment he knows he deserves and needs to settle his conscience.
