More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
When he has lost all hope, all object in life, man becomes a monster in his misery.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A real gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is man's unique privilege, among all other organisms. By pursuing falsehood you will arrive at the truth!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The most offensive is not their lying - one can always forgive lying - lying is a delightful thing, for it leads to truth - what is offensive is that they lie and worship their own lying.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is immeasurably more left inside than what comes out in words.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The perpetration of a crime is accompanied by illness!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
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
One can't understand everything at once, we can't begin with perfection all at once! In order to reach perfection one must begin by being ignorant of a great deal. And if we understand things too quickly, perhaps we shan't understand them thoroughly.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Happiness lies not in happiness but only in the attempt to achieve it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It suddenly seemed to me that I was lonely, that every one was forsaking me and going away from me. Of course, any one is entitled to ask who every one was. For though I had been living almost eight years in Petersburg I had hardly an acquaintance. But what did I want with acquaintances? I was acquainted with all Petersburg as it was.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
When reason fails, the devil helps!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
People with new ideas, people with the faintest capacity for saying something new, are extremely few in number, extraordinarily so, in fact.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is easier for a Russian to become an atheist than for anyone else in the world.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To be acutely conscious is a disease, a real, honest-to-goodness disease.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Reason is the slave of passion.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I gave up caring about anything, and all the problems disappeared.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Gambling is a most foolish and imprudent pursuit.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool's paradise.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I did not bow down to you, I bowed down to all the suffering of humanity.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
