More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky

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
Hell is the inability to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The man who has a conscience suffers whilst acknowledging his sin. That is his punishment.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only to live, to live and live! Life, whatever it may be!
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
Gambling is a most foolish and imprudent pursuit.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
From a hundred rabbits you can't make a horse.

Power is given only to him who dares to stoop and take it ... one must have the courage to dare.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But yet I am firmly persuaded that a great deal of consciousness, every sort of consciousness, in fact, is a disease.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man ... just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he's a good man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And what's strange, what would be marvelous, is not that God should really exist the marvel is that such an idea, the idea of the necessity of God, could enter the head of such a savage, vicious beast as man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man has such a predilection for systems and abstract deductions that he is ready to distort the truth intentionally he is ready to deny the evidence of his senses only to justify his logic.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I swear to you gentlemen, that to be overly conscious is a sickness, a real, thorough sickness.
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
I am too young and I've loved you too much.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To be acutely conscious is a disease, a real, honest-to-goodness disease.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
He was one of the numerous and varied legion of dullards, of half-animated abortions, conceited, half-educated coxcombs, who attach themselves to the idea most in fashion only to vulgarize it and who caricature every cause they serve, however sincerely.
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
