More quotes by 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
It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Sometimes a man is intensely, even passionately, attached to suffering — that is a fact.
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
Every man has some reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The more incompetent one feels, the more eager he is to fight.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Reality is infinitely diverse, compared with even the subtlest conclusions of abstract thought, and does not allow of clear-cut and sweeping distinctions. Reality resists classification.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But people will laugh at all sorts of things.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is no subject so old that something new cannot be said about it.
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
Suffering is the sole origin of consciousness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
My sweetheart! When I think of you, it's as if I'm holding some healing balm to my sick soul, and although i suffer for you, i find that even suffering for you is easy.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.
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
One must be a great man indeed to be able to hold out even against common sense. Or else a fool.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
..., twice two is four is not life, gentlemen, but the beginning of death.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But how could you live and have no story to tell?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I almost do not exist now and I know it God knows what lives in me in place of me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For the secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for. Without a stable conception of the object of life, man would not consent to go on living, and would rather destroy himself than remain on earth, though he had bread in abundance.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Walking along the crowded row He met the one he used to know.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
