More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
A new philosophy, a new way of life, is not given for nothing. It has to be paid dearly for and only acquired with much patience and great effort

Fyodor Dostoevsky
A widow, the mother of a family, and from her heart she produces chords to which my whole being responds.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is not the brains that matter most, but that which guides them — the character, the heart, generous qualities, progressive ideas.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is a law of nature that every decent man on earth is bound to be a coward and a slave
Fyodor Dostoevsky
My God, but what do I care about the laws of nature and arithmatic if for some reason these laws and two times two is four are not to my liking?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
--you wouldn't have hurt me like this for nothing. So what have I done? How have I wronged you? Tell me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I bless the rising sun each day, and, as before, my heart sings to meet it, but now I love even more its setting, its long slanting rays & the soft tender gentle memories that come with them...’ -Father Zossima
