More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
You will have many enemies, but even your foes will love you. Life will bring you many misfortunes, but you will find your happiness in them, and will bless life and will make others bless it-which is what matters most.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool's paradise.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If you happen to have a wart on your nose or forehead, you cannot help imagining that no one in the world has anything else to do but stare at your wart, laugh at it, and condemn you for it, even though you have discovered America.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I've long stopped worrying about who invented whom - God man or man God.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Compassion is the chief law of human existence.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What is the use of Christ's words, unless we set an example?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And you're sorry that the ephemeral beauty has faded so rapidly, so irretrievably, that it flashed so deceptively and pointlessly before your eyes - you're sorry, for you didn't even have time to fall in love.
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
People speak sometimes about the bestial cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Gentlemen, let us suppose that man is not stupid. (Indeed one cannot refuse to suppose that, if only from the one consideration, that, if man is stupid, then who is wise?) But if he is not stupid, he is monstrously ungrateful! Phenomenally ungrateful. In fact, I believe that the best definition of man is the ungrateful biped.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
He does not like showing his feelings and would rather do a cruel thing than open his heart freely.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
With love one can live even without happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Accept suffering and achieve atonement through it — that is what you must do.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One must be a great man indeed to be able to hold out even against common sense. Or else a fool.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I cannot understand why the world is arranged as it is.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Intelligence alone is not nearly enough when it comes to acting wisely.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Believe to the end, even if all men went astray and you were left the only one faithful bring your offering even then and praise God in your loneliness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And though I suffer for you, yet it eases my heart to suffer for you.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man grows used to everything, the scoundrel!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
