Hell is the inability to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For the secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for. Without a stable conception of the object of life, man would not consent to go on living, and would rather destroy himself than remain on earth, though he had bread in abundance.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One must be a great man indeed to be able to hold out even against common sense. Or else a fool.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every man has some reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is no sin , and there can be no sin on all the earth , which the Lord will not forgive to the truly repentant! Man cannot commit a sin so great as to exhaust the infinite love of God . Can there be a sin which could exceed the love of God?
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
The essence of religious feeling does not come under any sort of reasoning or atheism, and has nothing to do with any crimes or misdemeanors. There is something else here, and there will always be something else - something that the atheists will for ever slur over they will always be talking of something else.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But man is so addicted to systems and to abstract conclusions that he is prepared deliberately to distort the truth, to close his eyes and ears, but justify his logic at all cost.
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
Everything seems stupid when it fails.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Civilization merely develops man's capacity for a greater variety of sensations, and ... absolutely nothing else.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

On our earth we can only love withsuffering and through suffering.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
