More quotes by 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
To cook your hare you must first catch it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
My friend, the truth is always implausible, did you know that? To make the truth more plausible, it's absolutely necessary to mix a bit of falsehood with it. People have always done so.
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
One must be a great man indeed to be able to hold out even against common sense. Or else a fool.
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

Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only one thing matters, one thing to be able to dare!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is easier for a Russian to become an Atheist, than for any other nationality in the world. And not only does a Russian 'become an Atheist,' but he actually BELIEVES IN Atheism, just as though he had found a new faith, not perceiving that he has pinned his faith to a negation. Such is our anguish of thirst!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
My friends, God is necessary for me if only because he is the one being who can be loved eternally.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Oh I've plenty of time, my time is entirely my own.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
You’re a gentleman,” they used to say to him. “You shouldn’t have gone murdering people with a hatchet that’s no occupation for a gentleman.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Because everyone is guilty for everyone else. For all the 'wee ones,' because there are little children and big children. All people are 'wee ones.' And I'll go for all of them, because there must be someone who will go for all of them.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Loving someone is different from being in love with someone. You can hate someone you're in love with
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If man has one good memory to go by, that may be enough to save him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man grows used to everything, the scoundrel!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The man who is happy is fulfilling the purpose of existence
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
