More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Paradise is hidden in each one of use, it is concealed within me too, right now, and if I wish, it will come for me in reality, tomorrow even, and for the rest of my life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A real gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
. . . finally, I couldn't imagine how I could live without books, and I stopped dreaming about marrying that Chinese prince. . . .
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Drowning men, it is said, cling to wisps of straw.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Thus, as a result of heightened consciousness, a man feels as if it's all right if he's bad as long as he knows it- as though that were any consolation.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To be too conscious is an illness. A real thorough going illness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, Make us your slaves, but feed us.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I sometimes think love consists precisely of the voluntary gift by the loved object of the right to tyrannize over it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
How many ideas have there been in the history of man which were unthinkable ten years before they appeared?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For what is man without desires, without free will, and without the power of choice but a stop in an organ pipe?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is no subject so old that something new cannot be said about it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Do you think it is a vain hope that one day man will find joy in noble deeds of light and mercy, rather than in the coarse pleasures he indulges in today -- gluttony, fornication, ostentation, boasting, and envious vying with his neighbor? I am certain this is not a vain hope and that the day will come soon.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Can a man possessing conciousness ever really respect himself?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I swear to you gentlemen, that to be overly conscious is a sickness, a real, thorough sickness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
From a hundred rabbits you can't make a horse.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They won't let me ... I can't be ... good!
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 think that if one is faced by inevitable destruction -- if a house is falling upon you, for instance -- one must feel a great longing to sit down, close one's eyes and wait, come what may . . .
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life is paradise, and we are all in paradise, but we refuse to see it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
