More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Who doesn't desire his fathers death?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Atheism: It seeks to replace in itself the moral power of religion, in order to appease the spiritual thirst of parched humanity and save it not by Christ, but by force.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For men are made for happiness, and any one who is completely happy has a right to say to himself, 'I am doing God's will on earth.'
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am too young and I've loved you too much.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life [had] replaced logic.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Of course boredom may lead you to anything. It is boredom sets one sticking golden pins into people, but all that would not matter. What is bad (this is my comment again) is that I dare say people will be thankful for the gold pins then.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I have in my own life merely carried to the extreme that which you have never ventured to carry even halfway and what's more, you've regarded your cowardice as prudence, and found comfort in deceiving yourselves. So that, in fact, I may be even more alive than you are. Do take a closer look!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is amazing what one ray of sunshine can do for a man!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If thou love each thing thou wilt perceive the mystery of God in all.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Happiness lies not in happiness but only in the attempt to achieve it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Even those who have renounced Christianity and attack it, in their inmost being still follow the Christian ideal, for hitherto neither their subtlety nor the ardour of their hearts has been able to create a higher ideal of man and of virtue than the ideal given by Christ of old.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man, do not pride yourself on your superiority to the animals, for they are without sin, while you, with all your greatness, you defile the earth wherever you appear and leave an ignoble trail behind you -- and that is true, alas, for almost every one of us!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It's in the homes of spiteful old widows that one finds such cleanliness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What is hell?...The suffering that comes from the consciousness that one is no longer able to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
