Fyodor Dostoevsky
To love someone means to see him as God intended him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love life more than the meaning of it?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
We do not understand that life is paradise, for it suffices only to wish to understand it, and at once paradise will appear in front of us in its beauty.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Civilization merely develops man's capacity for a greater variety of sensations, and ... absolutely nothing else.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What is the use of Christ's words, unless we set an example?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
We always imagine eternity as something beyond our conception, something vast, vast! But why must it be vast?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Realists do not fear the results of their study.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The more conscious I was of goodness and of all that was 'sublime and beautiful,'the more deeply I sank into my mire and the more ready I was to sink in it altogether.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
