More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
In a way there's only a fine shade of difference between the healthy and the deranged.
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
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
Walking along the crowded row He met the one he used to know.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every man has some reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
... what you need more than anything in life is a definite position.
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
Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared with love in dreams.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In order to love simply, it is necessary to know how to show love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
My life is ending, I know that well, but every day that is left me I feel how my earthly life is in touch with a new infinite, unknown, but approaching life, the nearness of which sets my soul quivering with rapture, my mind glowing and my heart weeping with joy.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The world stands on absurdities, and without them perhaps nothing at all would happen.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Above all, don't lie to yourself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Men like to to count their troubles few calculate their happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul-then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love a man, even in his sin, for that love is a likeness of the divine love, and is the summit of love on earth.
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
To crush, to annihilate a man utterly, to inflict on him the most terrible of punishments so that the most ferocious murderer would shudder at it and dread it beforehand, one need only give him work of an absolutely, completely useless and irrational character.
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
Love the animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
