i appreciate mcduff's translation more than garnett. easier to digest though lacking the poetic sense that i usually like in my readings hehe. also deeply grateful for the footnotes for added context. im just going back and forth depending on the mood.

[fave chapter so far: so be it! so be it!] so many things to ponder re: separation (or not) of state and church. while i do get where ivan is coming from, it seems a bit dangerous and too total. miusov has the right to condradict and fear ivan's ideology. i (kind of) side with zossima (even though i dont like priests lol).

"...and yet I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone for two days together, as I know by experience. As soon as anyone is near me, his personality disturbs my self-complacency and restricts my freedom... I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I detest men individually the more ardent becomes my love for humanity."
