Once Peter Kapitza, the Russian physicist, gave Dirac an English translation of Dostoevski's Crime and Punishment.

"Well, how do you like it?" asked Kapitza when Dirac returned the book.

"It is nice," said Dirac, "but in one of the chapters the author made a mistake. He describes the Sun rising twice on the same day."

This was his one and only comment on Dostoevski's novel.
