More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
May you be for ever blessed for that moment of bliss and happiness which you gave to another lonely and grateful heart. Isn't such a moment sufficient for the whole of one's life?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But how could you live and have no story to tell?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul-then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Civilization merely develops man's capacity for a greater variety of sensations, and ... absolutely nothing else.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It suddenly seemed to me that I was lonely, that every one was forsaking me and going away from me. Of course, any one is entitled to ask who every one was. For though I had been living almost eight years in Petersburg I had hardly an acquaintance. But what did I want with acquaintances? I was acquainted with all Petersburg as it was.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Totally without hope one cannot live. To live without hope is to cease to live. Hell is hopelessness. It is no accident that above the entrance to Dante's hell is the inscription: Leave behind all hope, you who enter here.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
--you wouldn't have hurt me like this for nothing. So what have I done? How have I wronged you? Tell me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Paradise is hidden in each one of use, it is concealed within me too, right now, and if I wish, it will come for me in reality, tomorrow even, and for the rest of my life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beauty is a terrible and awful thing! It is terrible because it has not been fathomed, for God sets us nothing but riddles. Here the boundaries meet and all contradictions exist side by side.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
How good life is when one does something good and just!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Compassion is the chief law of human existence.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
originality and a feeling of one's own dignity are achieved only through work and struggle.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
...one may say anything about the history of the world - anything that might enter the most disordered imagination. The only thing one can't say is that it's rational.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A new philosophy, a new way of life, is not given for nothing. It has to be paid dearly for and only acquired with much patience and great effort
Fyodor Dostoevsky
This is my last message to you: in sorrow, seek happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To live without Hope is to Cease to live.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There are chance meetings with strangers that interest us from the first moment, before a word is spoken.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Make us your slaves, but feed us.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is easier for a Russian to become an atheist than for anyone else in the world.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love the animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
