I've made a terrible confession to you, he concluded gloomily. do appreciate it, gentlemen. and it's not enough, not enough to appreciate it, you must not just appreciate it, it should also be precious to you, and if not, if this, too, goes past your souls, then it means you really do not respect me, gentlemen. i tell you that, and i will die of shame at having confessed to such men as you.

I've Made A Terrible Confession To You,

Fyodor Dostoevsky

More From Fyodor Dostoevsky

You are putting yourself in serious danger...' i think that i preferred to put myself in serious danger rather than confront my shame. my shame at not having become someone, the shame of not having made my parents proud after all the sacrifices they had made for me. the shame of having become a mediocre nihilist.

If i marry: he must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. his shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. his lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. love must be so deep that it takes its stand in christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. he must be active enough to save souls. he must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.

I was not much afraid of punishment, i was only afraid of disgrace.but that i feared more than death, more than crime, more than anything in the world. i should have rejoiced if the earth had swallowed me up and stifled me in the abyss. but my invincible sense of shame prevailed over everything . it was my shame that made me impudent, and the more wickedly i behaved the bolder my fear of confession made me. i saw nothing but the horror of being found out, of being publicly proclaimed, to my face, as a thief, as a liar, and slanderer.
Liars Should Have Punishment
Every gay person must come out. as difficult as it is, you must tell your immediate family. you must tell your relatives. you must tell your friends if indeed they are your friends. you must tell the people you work with. you must tell the people in the stores you shop in. once they realize that we are indeed their children, that we are indeed everywhere, every myth, every lie, every innuendo will be destroyed once and all. and once you do, you will feel so much better

Find out what it means to die - not physically, that's inevitable - but to die to everything that is known, to die to your family, to your attachments, to all the things that you have accumulated, the known, the known pleasures, the known fears. die to that every minute and you will see what it means to die so that the mind is made fresh, young, and therefore innocent, so that there is incarnation not in a next life, but the next day.
