More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Power is given only to him who dares to stoop and take it ... one must have the courage to dare.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every man needs a place to go to.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Make us your slaves, but feed us.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Brother, I’m not depressed and haven’t lost spirit. Life everywhere is life, life is in ourselves and not in the external. There will be people near me, and to be a human being among human beings, and remain one forever, no matter what misfortunes befall, not to become depressed, and not to falter – this is what life is, herein lies its task.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Faith does not, in the realist, spring from the miracle but the miracle from faith. If the realist once believes, then he is bound by his very realism to admit the miraculous also.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The more stupid one is, the closer one is to reality. The more stupid one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence squirms and hides itself. Intelligence is unprincipled, but stupidity is honest and straightforward.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Killing myself was a matter of such indifference to me that I felt like waiting for a moment when it would make some difference.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
The man who is happy is fulfilling the purpose of existence
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
Woe to the man who offends a small child!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
they may all be drunk at my place, but they're all honest, and though we do lie-because I lie, too-in the end we'll lie our way to the truth
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But do you understand, I cry to him, do you understand that if you have the guillotine in the forefront, and with such glee, it's for the sole reason that cutting heads off is the easiest thing, and having an idea is difficult!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If not reason, then the devil.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Above all, do not lie to yourself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Drowning men, it is said, cling to wisps of straw.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is man's unique privilege, among all other organisms. By pursuing falsehood you will arrive at the truth!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I utter what you would not dare think
Fyodor Dostoevsky
You can be sincere and still be stupid.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
