More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
One's own free and unfettered volition, one's own caprice, however wild, one's own fancy, inflamed sometimes to the point of madness - that is the one best and greatest good, which is never taken into consideration because it cannot fit into any classification and the omission of which sends all systems and theories to the devil.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
My friends, God is necessary for me if only because he is the one being who can be loved eternally.

..., twice two is four is not life, gentlemen, but the beginning of death.

If he has a conscience he will suffer for his mistake. That will be his punishment-as well as the prison.
