More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Oh I've plenty of time, my time is entirely my own.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Russia was a slave in Europe but would be a master in Asia.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Wealth is the number of things one can do without.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Yes, that's right... love should come before logic ... Only then will man come to understand the meaning of life.
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
It was a wonderful night, such a night as is only possible when we are young, dear reader.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love the animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But people will laugh at all sorts of things.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In every idea of genius or in every new human idea, or, more simply still, in every serious human idea born in anyone's brain, there is something that cannot possibly be conveyed to others.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Remember that you must never sell your soul. Never accept payment in advance.... Never give a work to the printer before it is finished. This is the worst thing you can do.... It constitutes the murder of your own ideas.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For all is like an ocean, all flows and connects touch it in one place and it echoes at the other end of the world.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Or renounce life altogether! Accept fate obediently as it is, once and for all, and stifle everything in myself, renouncing any right to act, to live, to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
When reason fails, the devil helps!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The formula 'Two and two make five' is not without its attractions.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To be acutely conscious is a disease, a real, honest-to-goodness disease.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To study the meaning of man and of life — I am making significant progress here. I have faith in myself. Man is a mystery: if you spend your entire life trying to puzzle it out, then do not say that you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery, because I want to be a man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I want peace yes, I'd sell the whole world for a farthing, straight off, so long as I was left in peace. Is the world to go to pot, or am I to go without my tea? I say that the world may go to pot for me so long as I always get my tea. Did you know that, or not? Well, anyway, I know that I am a blackguard, a scoundrel, an egoist, a sluggard.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
