More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man is tormented by no greater anxiety than to find someone quickly to whom he can hand over that great gift of freedom with which the ill-fated creature is born.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every decent man of our age must be a coward and a slave. That is his normal condition. Of that I am firmly persuaded. He is made and constructed to that very end. And not only at the present time owing to some casual circumstance, but always, at all times, a decent man is bound to be a coward and a slave.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Gentlemen, I am tormented by questions answer them for me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In abstract love of humanity one almost always only loves oneself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The man who is happy is fulfilling the purpose of existence
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I agree that two and two make four is an excellent thing but to give everything its due, two and two make five is also a very fine thing.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is immeasurably more left inside than what comes out in words.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
The world stands on absurdities, and without them perhaps nothing at all would happen.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love a man, even in his sin, for that love is a likeness of the divine love, and is the summit of love on earth.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To achieve perfection, one must first begin by not understanding many things! And if we understand too quickly, we may not understand well.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I punish myself for my whole life, my whole life I punish.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beauty would save the world.
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!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life is what matters, life alone - the continuous, eternal process of discovering life - and not the discovery itself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They won't let me ... I can't be ... good!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A cultivated and decent man cannot be vain without setting a fearfully high standard for himself, and without despising and almost hating himself at certain moments.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Yes, that's right... love should come before logic ... Only then will man come to understand the meaning of life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I want to suffer so that I may love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Accept suffering and achieve atonement through it — that is what you must do.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
