More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man is sometimes extraordinarily, passionately, in love with suffering.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only the heart knows how to find what is precious.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A man would still do something out of sheer perversity - he would create destruction and chaos - just to gain his point...and if all this could in turn be analyzed and prevented by predicting that it would occur, then man would deliberately go mad to prove his point.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
My friends, God is necessary for me if only because he is the one being who can be loved eternally.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It suddenly seemed to me that I was lonely, that everyone was forsaking me and going away from me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is no subject so old that something new cannot be said about it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
How does it come about that what an intelligent man expresses is much stupider than what remains inside him?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Civilization merely develops man's capacity for a greater variety of sensations, and ... absolutely nothing else.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
He who desires to see the living God face-to-face should not seek him in the empty, firmament of his mind, but in human love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
But people will laugh at all sorts of things.
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
I tell you solemnly, that I have many times tried to become an insect. But I was not equal even to that. I swear, gentlemen, that to be too conscious is an illness — a real thorough-going illness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only one thing matters, one thing to be able to dare!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For if there's no everlasting God, there's no such thing as virtue, and there's no need of it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Wealth is the number of things one can do without.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
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
I wanted to discuss the suffering of humanity in general, but perhaps we'd better confine ourselves to the sufferings of children.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am a ridiculous man. They call me a madman now. That would be a distinct rise in my social position were it not that they still regard me as being as ridiculous as ever.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To love another person is to see them as God intended them to be.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
