Fyodor Dostoevsky
Because I'm a Karamazov. Because when I fall into the abyss, I go straight into it, head down and heels up, and I'm even pleased that I'm falling in just such a humiliating position, and for me I find it beautiful.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
He seemed, indeed, to accept everything without the least condemnation though often grieving bitterly.

Who doesn't desire his fathers death?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If the person laughs well, they are a good person.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To kill someone for committing murder is a punishment incomparably worse than the crime itself. Murder by legal sentence is immeasurably more terrible than murder by brigands.

Man is a pliable animal, a being who gets accustomed to everything!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
