More quotes by 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
Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I think that if one is faced by inevitable destruction -- if a house is falling upon you, for instance -- one must feel a great longing to sit down, close one's eyes and wait, come what may . . .
Fyodor Dostoevsky
How many ideas have there been in the history of man which were unthinkable ten years before they appeared?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The jealous are the readiest of all to forgive, and all women know it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I could not become anything neither good nor bad neither a scoundrel nor an honest man neither a hero nor an insect. And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything, that only a fool can become something.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
From harmony, from heavenly harmony, This universal frame began: From harmony to harmony Through all the compass of the notes it ran, The diapason closing full in Man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
He seemed, indeed, to accept everything without the least condemnation though often grieving bitterly.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I want to suffer so that I may love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Hell is the inability to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
May you be for ever blessed for that moment of bliss and happiness which you gave to another lonely and grateful heart. Isn't such a moment sufficient for the whole of one's life?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Pass us by, and forgive us our happiness
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The world has proclaimed the reign of freedom, especially of late, but what do we see in this freedom of theirs? Nothing but slavery and self-destruction! For the world says: You have desires and so satisfy them, for you have the same rights as the most rich and powerful. Don't be afraid of satisfying them and even multiply your desires.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Alyosha's heart could not bear uncertainty, for the nature of his love was always active. He could not love passively once he loved, he immediately also began to help.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man, do not pride yourself on your superiority to the animals, for they are without sin, while you, with all your greatness, you defile the earth wherever you appear and leave an ignoble trail behind you -- and that is true, alas, for almost every one of us!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And you're sorry that the ephemeral beauty has faded so rapidly, so irretrievably, that it flashed so deceptively and pointlessly before your eyes - you're sorry, for you didn't even have time to fall in love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The consciousness of life is higher than life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I swear to you, sirs, that excessive consciousness is a disease--a genuine, absolute disease.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beauty would save the world.
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
