Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life is in ourselves and not in the external.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The darker the night, the brighter the stars, The deeper the grief, the closer is God!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And you're sorry that the ephemeral beauty has faded so rapidly, so irretrievably, that it flashed so deceptively and pointlessly before your eyes - you're sorry, for you didn't even have time to fall in love.
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
Everything will come in due course, if you have the gumption to wait for it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
