More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
It’s not God that I do not accept, you understand, it is this world of God’s, created by God, that I do not accept and cannot agree to accept.
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
A cultivated and decent man cannot be vain without setting a fearfully high standard for himself, and without despising and almost hating himself at certain moments.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I do not wish you much happiness--it would bore you I do not wish you trouble either but, following the people's philosophy, I will simply repeat: 'Live more' and try somehow not to be too bored this useless wish I am adding on my own.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

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
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
If not reason, then the devil.
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
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To live without Hope is to Cease to live.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If you happen to have a wart on your nose or forehead, you cannot help imagining that no one in the world has anything else to do but stare at your wart, laugh at it, and condemn you for it, even though you have discovered America.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Russians alone are able to combine so many opposites in themselves at one and the same time.
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
Nothing is more seductive for a man than his freedom of conscience, but nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Yes, that's right... love should come before logic ... Only then will man come to understand the meaning of life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
All the Utopias will come to pass only when we grow wings and all people are converted into angels.
