More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
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

Thus, as a result of heightened consciousness, a man feels as if it's all right if he's bad as long as he knows it- as though that were any consolation.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
On our earth we can only love withsuffering and through suffering.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I've long stopped worrying about who invented whom - God man or man God.

Or renounce life altogether! Accept fate obediently as it is, once and for all, and stifle everything in myself, renouncing any right to act, to live, to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
