Quotes 

• Sonya Marmeladova : What are you doing? What are you doing? Doing that before me!

  Raskolnikov : I am not kneeling to you, I am kneeling to all human suffering.

  Sonya Marmeladova : What are you saying? I've lost all honor, I am a sinner, I am a great sinner! What are you saying?

  Raskolnikov : It's not because of your dishonor nor because you've sinned. It's for the great suffering you've done. you're a great sinner, that's true. You live in the filth you despise. You know you're not helping anyone, you can't save anyone from anything. How can you live with this things side by side within you? It would be more just and sensible if you were to jump off a bridge and put an end to all this.

• Raskolnikov : What difference would it make to you if l were to confess that l did wrong? Why do you want to triumph over me? You won't understand anything. I'll only make you suffer.

  Sonya Marmeladova : Aren't you suffering too?

  Raskolnikov : I'm bad at heart.

• Raskolnikov : No one of them will understand you but me. I need you, that is why I've come to you.

  Sonya Marmeladova : I don't understand.

  Raskolnikov : You'll understand later. Haven't you done the same thing? You had the strength to go beyond what's permissible. You have laid hands on yourself. You have destroyed a life... your own life. That makes no difference. But you won't be able to hold on. if you stay alone you'll go out of your mind like me.

• Raskolnikov : What am l to do now?

  Sonya Marmeladova : What are you to do? Stand up. Go and first kiss the earth which you have defiled. Bow down to all the world and say to all men loudly: ''I'm a murderer!''. Then God will send you life again.

  Raskolnikov : You mean l must give myself up?

  Sonya Marmeladova : Suffer and expiate your sin by it. That's what you must do.

  Raskolnikov : No, I'm not going to them.

  Sonya Marmeladova : it'll be too much for you to bear.

  Raskolnikov : What will l say? That l killed and did not dare take the money, but hid it? They'd laugh at me.

  Sonya Marmeladova : What a burden to carry! And for your whole life! Your whole life!

  Raskolnikov : I'll get used to it. Perhaps I've slandered myself. Perhaps I'm not a louse but a man, l may have judged myself too quickly. Yesterday l thought l was lost. But today things look much better.
