More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
I cannot truly imagine a truly great person who hasn't suffered.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But do you understand, I cry to him, do you understand that if you have the guillotine in the forefront, and with such glee, it's for the sole reason that cutting heads off is the easiest thing, and having an idea is difficult!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every member of the society spies on the rest, and it is his duty to inform against them. All are slaves and equal in their slavery... The great thing about it is equality... Slaves are bound to be equal.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One's own free and unfettered volition, one's own caprice, however wild, one's own fancy, inflamed sometimes to the point of madness - that is the one best and greatest good, which is never taken into consideration because it cannot fit into any classification and the omission of which sends all systems and theories to the devil.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I may be mistaken but it seems to me that a man may be judged by his laugh, and that if at first encounter you like the laugh of a person completely unknown to you, you may say with assurance that he is good.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They won't let me ... I can't be ... good!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Men like to to count their troubles few calculate their happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To live without Hope is to Cease to live.
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
To achieve perfection, one must first begin by not understanding many things! And if we understand too quickly, we may not understand well.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
At first, art imitates life. Then life will imitate art.Then life will find its very existence from the arts.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
We are all happy if we but knew it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
He who desires to see the living God face-to-face should not seek him in the empty, firmament of his mind, but in human love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It suddenly seemed to me that I was lonely, that everyone was forsaking me and going away from me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I utter what you would not dare think
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beggars, especially noble beggars, should never show themselves in the street they should ask for alms through the newspapers. It's still possible to love one's neighbor abstractly, and even occasionally from a distance, but hardly ever up close.
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
I did not bow down to you, I bowed down to all the suffering of humanity.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Shower on him every blessing, drown him in a sea of happiness, give him economic prosperity such that he should have nothing else to do but sleep, eat cakes, and busy himself with the continuation of the species, and even then, out of sheer ingratitude, sheer spite, man would play you some nasty trick.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life is paradise, and we are all in paradise, but we refuse to see it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
