More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am a sick man...I am a spiteful man. I am a most unpleasant man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Alyosha's heart could not bear uncertainty, for the nature of his love was always active. He could not love passively once he loved, he immediately also began to help.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One could never judge a man without seeing him close, for oneself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life is what matters, life alone - the continuous, eternal process of discovering life - and not the discovery itself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I did not bow down to you, I bowed down to all the suffering of humanity.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And the more I drink the more I feel it. That's why I drink too. I try to find sympathy and feeling in drink.... I drink so that I may suffer twice as much!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One can't understand everything at once, we can't begin with perfection all at once! In order to reach perfection one must begin by being ignorant of a great deal. And if we understand things too quickly, perhaps we shan't understand them thoroughly.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A hundred suspicions don't make a proof.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The consciousness of life is higher than life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The most offensive is not their lying - one can always forgive lying - lying is a delightful thing, for it leads to truth - what is offensive is that they lie and worship their own lying.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If not reason, then the devil.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The sky was horribly dark , but one could distinctly see tattered clouds , and between them fathomless black patches. Suddenly I noticed in one of these patches a star , and began watching it intently. That was because that star had given me an idea : I decided to kill myself that night .
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It was a wonderful night, such a night as is only possible when we are young, dear reader.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Until you have become really, in actual fact, as brother to everyone, brotherhood will not come to pass.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I want peace yes, I'd sell the whole world for a farthing, straight off, so long as I was left in peace. Is the world to go to pot, or am I to go without my tea? I say that the world may go to pot for me so long as I always get my tea. Did you know that, or not? Well, anyway, I know that I am a blackguard, a scoundrel, an egoist, a sluggard.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Speak of a wolf and you see his tail!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If thou love each thing thou wilt perceive the mystery of God in all.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What man wants is simply independent choice, whatever that independence may cost and wherever it may lead.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
