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
The perpetration of a crime is accompanied by illness!
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only to live, to live and live! Life, whatever it may be!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The absurd is only too necessary on earth. The world stands on absurdities.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The more conscious I was of goodness and of all that was 'sublime and beautiful,'the more deeply I sank into my mire and the more ready I was to sink in it altogether.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
You ache with it all and the more mysterious it is, the more you ache.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
