Image
He does not like showing his feelings and would rather do a cruel thing than open his heart freely.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
The world has proclaimed the reign of freedom, especially of late, but what do we see in this freedom of theirs? Nothing but slavery and self-destruction! For the world says: You have desires and so satisfy them, for you have the same rights as the most rich and powerful. Don't be afraid of satisfying them and even multiply your desires.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image

A cultivated and decent man cannot be vain without setting a fearfully high standard for himself, and without despising and almost hating himself at certain moments.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything? Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
The jealous are the readiest of all to forgive, and all women know it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Hang your merit. I don't seek anyone's approbation.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Man, do not pride yourself on your superiority to the animals, for they are without sin, while you, with all your greatness, you defile the earth wherever you appear and leave an ignoble trail behind you -- and that is true, alas, for almost every one of us!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
