More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
At first, art imitates life. Then life will imitate art.Then life will find its very existence from the arts.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It's the moon that makes it so still, weaving some mystery.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Luxuries are easy to take up but very difficult to give up
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man has it all in his hands, and it all slips through his fingers from sheer cowardice.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is no sin , and there can be no sin on all the earth , which the Lord will not forgive to the truly repentant! Man cannot commit a sin so great as to exhaust the infinite love of God . Can there be a sin which could exceed the love of God?
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
I did not bow down to you, I bowed down to all the suffering of humanity.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I swear to you gentlemen, that to be overly conscious is a sickness, a real, thorough sickness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But man is so addicted to systems and to abstract conclusions that he is prepared deliberately to distort the truth, to close his eyes and ears, but justify his logic at all cost.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
People talk sometimes of a bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel. The tiger only tears and gnaws, that's all he can do. He would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
He does not like showing his feelings and would rather do a cruel thing than open his heart freely.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life [had] replaced logic.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every man needs a place to go to.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
- What is a Socialist? - That's when all are equal and all have property in common, there are no marriages, and everyone has any religion and laws he likes best. You are not old enough to understand that yet.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is easier for a Russian to become an Atheist, than for any other nationality in the world. And not only does a Russian 'become an Atheist,' but he actually BELIEVES IN Atheism, just as though he had found a new faith, not perceiving that he has pinned his faith to a negation. Such is our anguish of thirst!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What is hell?...The suffering that comes from the consciousness that one is no longer able to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Russian soul is a dark place.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I swear to you, sirs, that excessive consciousness is a disease--a genuine, absolute disease.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
God is necessary, and therefore must exist...But I know that he does not and cannot exist...Don't you understand that a man with these two thoughts cannot go on living?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
