More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
I've long stopped worrying about who invented whom - God man or man God.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Sometimes a man is intensely, even passionately, attached to suffering — that is a fact.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
At first it was simply liking, Nastenka, but now, now ! I am just in the same position as you were when you went to him with your bundle. In a worse position than you, Nastenka,because he cared for no one else as you do.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every man needs a place to go to.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is only one way to salvation, and that is to make yourself responsible for all men's sins. As soon as you make yourself responsible in all sincerity for everything and for everyone, you will see at once that this is really so, and that you are in fact to blame for everyone and for all things.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Atheism: It seeks to replace in itself the moral power of religion, in order to appease the spiritual thirst of parched humanity and save it not by Christ, but by force.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
We always imagine eternity as something beyond our conception, something vast, vast! But why must it be vast?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I agree that two times two makes four is an excellent thing but if we are dispensing praise, then two times two makes five is sometimes a most charming little thing as well.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And though I suffer for you, yet it eases my heart to suffer for you.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Times of crisis, of disruption or constructive change, are not only predictable, but desirable. They mean growth. Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is amazing what one ray of sunshine can do for a man!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, Make us your slaves, but feed us.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am a ridiculous man. They call me a madman now. That would be a distinct rise in my social position were it not that they still regard me as being as ridiculous as ever.
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
Beggars, especially noble beggars, should never show themselves in the street they should ask for alms through the newspapers. It's still possible to love one's neighbor abstractly, and even occasionally from a distance, but hardly ever up close.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
People really do like seeing their best friends humiliated a large part of the friendship is based on humiliation and that is an old truth,well known to all intelligent people.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
My friend, the truth is always implausible, did you know that? To make the truth more plausible, it's absolutely necessary to mix a bit of falsehood with it. People have always done so.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Or renounce life altogether! Accept fate obediently as it is, once and for all, and stifle everything in myself, renouncing any right to act, to live, to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Russian soul is a dark place.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
