The Brothers Karamazov

The Brothers Karamazov1958



Smerdjakov:
If you'll permit a comment, sir, you're not at all like your brother Dmitri.

Ivan Karamazov:
Half-brother.

Smerdjakov:
You're different from all of them. I could see that the first minute you arrived yesterday. Intelligence, audacity, cleverness...

Ivan Karamazov:
You've just never met anyone who lives in Moscow.

Smerdjakov:
No sir, it's those magazine articles you wrote, the ones about crime.

Ivan Karamazov:
[pauses] You enjoyed them.

Smerdjakov:
[takes out a magazine clipping, reads it] There is nothing in the world to make man love their neighbours. If there is no God, then nothing can be immoral. Everything becomes lawful, even crime. Crime becomes not only lawful, but inevitable.
