"Which is better: cheap happiness or sublime suffering?"

"What concerns me in particular, is that in my life I've only taken to the extreme that which you haven't even dared to take halfway; what's more, you've mistaken your cowardice for good sense; and, in so deceiving yourself, you've consoled yourself. So, in fact, I may even be 'more alive' than you are. Just take a closer look!"
-Notes From Underground by Dostoevsky
