More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky

And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything, that only a fool can become something.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
I cannot understand why the world is arranged as it is.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I feel pity for him, and that is a poor sign of love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Because everyone is guilty for everyone else. For all the 'wee ones,' because there are little children and big children. All people are 'wee ones.' And I'll go for all of them, because there must be someone who will go for all of them.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I sometimes think love consists precisely of the voluntary gift by the loved object of the right to tyrannize over it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am crazy about mysterious things.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Right or wrong, it's very pleasant to break something from time to time.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
