Humiliate the reason and distort the soul.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And the more I drink the more I feel it. That's why I drink too. I try to find sympathy and feeling in drink.... I drink so that I may suffer twice as much!

I may be mistaken but it seems to me that a man may be judged by his laugh, and that if at first encounter you like the laugh of a person completely unknown to you, you may say with assurance that he is good.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I do not wish you much happiness--it would bore you I do not wish you trouble either but, following the people's philosophy, I will simply repeat: 'Live more' and try somehow not to be too bored this useless wish I am adding on my own.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I almost do not exist now and I know it God knows what lives in me in place of me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Catch several hares and you won't catch one.

Woe to the man who offends a small child!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I must add... my gratitude to you for the attention with which you have listened to me, for, from my numerous observations, our Liberals are never capable of letting anyone else have a conviction of his own without at once meeting their opponent with abuse or even something worse.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is easier for a Russian to become an Atheist, than for any other nationality in the world. And not only does a Russian 'become an Atheist,' but he actually BELIEVES IN Atheism, just as though he had found a new faith, not perceiving that he has pinned his faith to a negation. Such is our anguish of thirst!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Who doesn't desire his fathers death?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A hundred suspicions don't make a proof.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They won't let me ... I can't be ... good!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
