Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is immeasurably more left inside than what comes out in words.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
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
God has such gladness every time he sees from heaven that a sinner is praying to Him with all his heart, as a mother has when she sees the first smile on her baby's face.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Happiness lies not in happiness but only in the attempt to achieve it.
