More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Hell is the inability to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What man wants is simply independent choice, whatever that independence may cost and wherever it may lead.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Even if we are occupied with important things and even if we attain honour or fall into misfortune, still let us remember how good it once was here, when we were all together united by a good and kind feeling which made us perhaps better than we are.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The more stupid one is, the closer one is to reality. The more stupid one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence squirms and hides itself. Intelligence is unprincipled, but stupidity is honest and straightforward.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For if there's no everlasting God, there's no such thing as virtue, and there's no need of it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
.. But do you understand, I cry to him, do you understand that along with happiness, in the exact same way, in perfectly equal proportion, man also needs unhappiness
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Above all, don't lie to yourself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The formula 'Two and two make five' is not without its attractions.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beauty will save the world
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Even those who have renounced Christianity and attack it, in their inmost being still follow the Christian ideal, for hitherto neither their subtlety nor the ardour of their hearts has been able to create a higher ideal of man and of virtue than the ideal given by Christ of old.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I gave up caring about anything, and all the problems disappeared.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only the heart knows how to find what is precious.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I can see the sun, but even if I cannot see the sun, I know that it exists. And to know that the sun is there - that is living.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
God has such gladness every time he sees from heaven that a sinner is praying to Him with all his heart, as a mother has when she sees the first smile on her baby's face.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Since man cannot live without miracles, he will provide himself with miracles of his own making. He will believe in witchcraft and sorcery, even though he may otherwise be a heretic, an atheist, and a rebel.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
How does it come about that what an intelligent man expresses is much stupider than what remains inside him?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Realists do not fear the results of their study.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The perpetration of a crime is accompanied by illness!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Talking nonsense is the sole privilege mankind possesses over the other organisms. It's by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! I talk nonsense, therefore I'm human
