More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Image
In a morbid condition of the brain, dreams often have a singular actuality, vividness, and extraordinary semblance of reality.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
But man is a fickle and disreputable creature and perhaps, like a chess-player, is interested in the process of attaining his goal rather than the goal itself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
It suddenly seemed to me that I was lonely, that everyone was forsaking me and going away from me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Who doesn't desire his fathers death?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Make us your slaves, but feed us.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
To kill someone for committing murder is a punishment incomparably worse than the crime itself. Murder by legal sentence is immeasurably more terrible than murder by brigands.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
And, indeed, I will at this point ask an idle question on my own account: which is better — cheap happiness or exalted sufferings? Well, which is better?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Power is given only to him who dares to stoop and take it ... one must have the courage to dare.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
To be acutely conscious is a disease, a real, honest-to-goodness disease.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
The consciousness of life is higher than life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
I tell you solemnly, that I have many times tried to become an insect. But I was not equal even to that. I swear, gentlemen, that to be too conscious is an illness — a real thorough-going illness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Only the heart knows how to find what is precious.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
I have in my own life merely carried to the extreme that which you have never ventured to carry even halfway and what's more, you've regarded your cowardice as prudence, and found comfort in deceiving yourselves. So that, in fact, I may be even more alive than you are. Do take a closer look!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
The jealous are the readiest of all to forgive, and all women know it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Can a man possessing conciousness ever really respect himself?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Do you understand, sir, do you understand what it means when you have absolutely nowhere to turn? Marmeladov's question came suddenly into his mind for every man must have somewhere to turn.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
The man who is happy is fulfilling the purpose of existence
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
To be too conscious is an illness. A real thorough going illness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Happiness lies not in happiness but only in the attempt to achieve it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Love is a teacher, but one must know how to acquire it, for it is difficult to acquire, it is dearly bought, by long work over a long time, for one ought to love not for a chance moment but for all time. Anyone, even a wicked man, can love by chance.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
