About This Quote

“The spring is coming" is a well-known quote from one of the best books, “The Brothers Karamazov.” In this book, the character Alyosha asks Ivan Karamazov, “Is the spring coming?” In the book, Ivan replies, “What is it like?” Ivan explains that it’s “the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine.” The meaning of this quote is that you should always try to work for both good and bad things. The bad things will come back to you in times of need, and if you have a pure heart, you will be able to take them.
