More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every decent man of our age must be a coward and a slave. That is his normal condition. Of that I am firmly persuaded. He is made and constructed to that very end. And not only at the present time owing to some casual circumstance, but always, at all times, a decent man is bound to be a coward and a slave.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
You can be sincere and still be stupid.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A single day is sufficient for a man to discover what happiness is.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If he has a conscience he will suffer for his mistake. That will be his punishment-as well as the prison.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beauty will save the world

Fyodor Dostoevsky
How does it come about that what an intelligent man expresses is much stupider than what remains inside him?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Compassion is the chief law of human existence.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only one thing matters, one thing to be able to dare!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Everything seems stupid when it fails.
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
I swear to you gentlemen, that to be overly conscious is a sickness, a real, thorough sickness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
With love one can live even without happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In every idea of genius or in every new human idea, or, more simply still, in every serious human idea born in anyone's brain, there is something that cannot possibly be conveyed to others.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
