Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
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
Image
Don't think I'm talking nonsense because I'm drunk. I'm not a bit drunk. Brandy's all very well, but I need two bottles to make me drunk.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
My friends, God is necessary for me if only because he is the one being who can be loved eternally.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Loving someone is different from being in love with someone. You can hate someone you're in love with
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
The world stands on absurdities, and without them perhaps nothing at all would happen.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Even as I approach the gambling hall, as soon as I hear, two rooms away, the jingle of money poured out on the table, I almost go into convulsions.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
To be acutely conscious is a disease, a real, honest-to-goodness disease.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
People with new ideas, people with the faintest capacity for saying something new, are extremely few in number, extraordinarily so, in fact.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
It's not miracles that generate faith, but faith that generates miracles.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
