More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
I agree that two times two makes four is an excellent thing but if we are dispensing praise, then two times two makes five is sometimes a most charming little thing as well.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One must love life before loving its meaning ... yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I gave up caring about anything, and all the problems disappeared.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The more I love humanity in general, the less I love man in particular.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Gambling is a most foolish and imprudent pursuit.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.
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
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
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
For the secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for. Without a stable conception of the object of life, man would not consent to go on living, and would rather destroy himself than remain on earth, though he had bread in abundance.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But man is so addicted to systems and to abstract conclusions that he is prepared deliberately to distort the truth, to close his eyes and ears, but justify his logic at all cost.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
When reason fails, the devil helps!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Gentlemen, I am tormented by questions answer them for me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It's in the homes of spiteful old widows that one finds such cleanliness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In a morbid condition of the brain, dreams often have a singular actuality, vividness, and extraordinary semblance of reality.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It suddenly seemed to me that I was lonely, that every one was forsaking me and going away from me. Of course, any one is entitled to ask who every one was. For though I had been living almost eight years in Petersburg I had hardly an acquaintance. But what did I want with acquaintances? I was acquainted with all Petersburg as it was.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The man who has a conscience suffers whilst acknowledging his sin. That is his punishment.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am alone, I thought, and they are everybody.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
From a hundred rabbits you can't make a horse.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Truly great men must, I think, experience great sorrow on the earth.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
