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.

More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Do you think it is a vain hope that one day man will find joy in noble deeds of light and mercy, rather than in the coarse pleasures he indulges in today -- gluttony, fornication, ostentation, boasting, and envious vying with his neighbor? I am certain this is not a vain hope and that the day will come soon.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
I love the sticky leaves in spring, the blue sky — that’s all it is. It’s not a matter of intellect or logic, it’s loving with one’s inside, with one’s stomach.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
Happiness lies not in happiness but only in the attempt to achieve it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I drink because I wish to multiply my sufferings.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Being at a loss to resolve these questions, I am resolved to leave them without any resolution.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is easier for a Russian to become an atheist than for anyone else in the world.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They have succeeded in accumulating a greater mass of objects, but the joy in the world has grown less.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Although your mind works, your heart is darkened with depravity and without a pure heart there can be no complete and true consciousness
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To cook your hare you must first catch it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It was a wonderful night, such a night as is only possible when we are young, dear reader.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
