More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
A single day is sufficient for a man to discover what happiness is.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I agree that two times two makes four is an excellent thing but if we are dispensing praise, then two times two makes five is sometimes a most charming little thing as well.
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
People with new ideas, people with the faintest capacity for saying something new, are extremely few in number, extraordinarily so, in fact.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only the heart knows how to find what is precious.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Shower on him every blessing, drown him in a sea of happiness, give him economic prosperity such that he should have nothing else to do but sleep, eat cakes, and busy himself with the continuation of the species, and even then, out of sheer ingratitude, sheer spite, man would play you some nasty trick.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But people will laugh at all sorts of things.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I want to suffer so that I may love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They were like two enemies in love with one another.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Of course my jokes are in poor taste, inappropriate, and confused they reveal my lack of security. But that is because I have no respect for myself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
--you wouldn't have hurt me like this for nothing. So what have I done? How have I wronged you? Tell me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A fool with a heart and no sense is just as unhappy as a fool with sense and no heart.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Oh I've plenty of time, my time is entirely my own.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
You ache with it all and the more mysterious it is, the more you ache.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am strongly convinced that not only too much consciousness but even any consciousness at all is a sickness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
You see I kept asking myself then: why am I so stupid that if others are stupid—and I know they are—yet I won't be wiser?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beyond the grave they will find nothing but death. But we shall keep the secret, and for their happiness we shall allure them with the reward of heaven and eternity.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is no virtue if there is no immortality.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They tease me now, telling me it was only a dream. But does it matter whether it was a dream or reality, if the dream made known to me the truth?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
