It was a wonderful night, such a night as is only possible when we are young, dear reader.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A single day is sufficient for a man to discover what happiness is.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I almost do not exist now and I know it God knows what lives in me in place of me.
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.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Even as I approach the gambling hall, as soon as I hear, two rooms away, the jingle of money poured out on the table, I almost go into convulsions.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Truly great men must, I think, experience great sorrow on the earth.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I want to suffer so that I may love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Until you have become really, in actual fact, as brother to everyone, brotherhood will not come to pass.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I swear to you, sirs, that excessive consciousness is a disease--a genuine, absolute disease.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Remember that you must never sell your soul. Never accept payment in advance.... Never give a work to the printer before it is finished. This is the worst thing you can do.... It constitutes the murder of your own ideas.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One can know a man from his laugh, and if you like a man's laugh before you know anything of him, you may confidently say that he is a good man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A special form of misery had begun to oppress him of late. There was nothing poignant, nothing acute about it but there was a feeling of permanence, of eternity about it it brought a foretaste of hopeless years of this cold leaden misery, a foretaste of an eternity on a square yard of space.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love the animals. God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Don't trouble it, don't harass them, don't deprive them of their happiness, don't work against God's intent.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Power is given only to him who dares to stoop and take it ... one must have the courage to dare.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They were like two enemies in love with one another.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The man who has a conscience suffers whilst acknowledging his sin. That is his punishment.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It's the great mystery of human life that old grief passes gradually into quiet tender joy.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Grown-up people do not know that a child can give exceedingly good advice even in the most difficult case.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life [had] replaced logic.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A new philosophy, a new way of life, is not given for nothing. It has to be paid dearly for and only acquired with much patience and great effort
Fyodor Dostoevsky
