More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is easier for a Russian to become an Atheist, than for any other nationality in the world. And not only does a Russian 'become an Atheist,' but he actually BELIEVES IN Atheism, just as though he had found a new faith, not perceiving that he has pinned his faith to a negation. Such is our anguish of thirst!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It's the moon that makes it so still, weaving some mystery.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is necessary that every man have at least somewhere to go. For there are times when one absolutely must go at least somewhere!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every man has some reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Above all, do not lie to yourself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They were like two enemies in love with one another.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What makes a hero? Courage, strength, morality, withstanding adversity? Are these the traits that truly show and create a hero? Is the light truly the source of darkness or vice versa? Is the soul a source of hope or despair? Who are these so called heroes and where do they come from? Are their origins in obscurity or in plain sight?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Brother, I’m not depressed and haven’t lost spirit. Life everywhere is life, life is in ourselves and not in the external. There will be people near me, and to be a human being among human beings, and remain one forever, no matter what misfortunes befall, not to become depressed, and not to falter – this is what life is, herein lies its task.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The more I detest men individually the more ardent becomes my love for humanity.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Russian soul is a dark place.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
... what you need more than anything in life is a definite position.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Until you have become really, in actual fact, as brother to everyone, brotherhood will not come to pass.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To love another person is to see them as God intended them to be.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In a way there's only a fine shade of difference between the healthy and the deranged.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In a morbid condition of the brain, dreams often have a singular actuality, vividness, and extraordinary semblance of reality.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life is what matters, life alone - the continuous, eternal process of discovering life - and not the discovery itself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is easier for a Russian to become an atheist than for anyone else in the world.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
