More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
It’s not God that I don’t accept, Alyosha, only I most respectfully return him the ticket.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Alyosha's heart could not bear uncertainty, for the nature of his love was always active. He could not love passively once he loved, he immediately also began to help.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
This is my last message to you: in sorrow, seek happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The chief thing is to love others like yourself, that's the chief thing, and that's everything nothing else is wanted - you will find out at once how to arrange it all.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The more stupid one is, the closer one is to reality. The more stupid one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence squirms and hides itself. Intelligence is unprincipled, but stupidity is honest and straightforward.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It's in despair that you find the sharpest pleasures, particularly when you are most acutely aware of the hopelessness of your position.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I walked along Nevsky Avenue.Actually it was more torture, humiliation, and bilious irritation than a stroll.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Accept suffering and achieve atonement through it — that is what you must do.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What man wants is simply independent choice, whatever that independence may cost and wherever it may lead.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The perpetration of a crime is accompanied by illness!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is no virtue if there is no immortality.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Because I'm a Karamazov. Because when I fall into the abyss, I go straight into it, head down and heels up, and I'm even pleased that I'm falling in just such a humiliating position, and for me I find it beautiful.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What is the use of Christ's words, unless we set an example?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.
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
Above all, don't lie to yourself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is easier for a Russian to become an atheist than for anyone else in the world.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Loving someone is different from being in love with someone. You can hate someone you're in love with
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In sinning, each man sins against all, and each man is at least partly guilt for another's sin. There is no isolated sin.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
