Fyodor Dostoevsky
Gambling is a most foolish and imprudent pursuit.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Since I wasn't consulted at the time of the creation of the world, I reserve for myself the right to have my own opinion about it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They were like two enemies in love with one another.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Because I'm a Karamazov. Because when I fall into the abyss, I go straight into it, head down and heels up, and I'm even pleased that I'm falling in just such a humiliating position, and for me I find it beautiful.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Right attitudes produces right action
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Reason is the slave of passion.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I did not bow down to you, I bowed down to all the suffering of humanity.
