More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
And though I suffer for you, yet it eases my heart to suffer for you.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Because everyone is guilty for everyone else. For all the 'wee ones,' because there are little children and big children. All people are 'wee ones.' And I'll go for all of them, because there must be someone who will go for all of them.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is immeasurably more left inside than what comes out in words.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I want peace yes, I'd sell the whole world for a farthing, straight off, so long as I was left in peace. Is the world to go to pot, or am I to go without my tea? I say that the world may go to pot for me so long as I always get my tea. Did you know that, or not? Well, anyway, I know that I am a blackguard, a scoundrel, an egoist, a sluggard.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Let us be servants in order to be leaders.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool's paradise.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every member of the society spies on the rest, and it is his duty to inform against them. All are slaves and equal in their slavery... The great thing about it is equality... Slaves are bound to be equal.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The man who has a conscience suffers whilst acknowledging his sin. That is his punishment.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
My God, but what do I care about the laws of nature and arithmatic if for some reason these laws and two times two is four are not to my liking?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I did not bow down to you, I bowed down to all the suffering of humanity.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life is in ourselves and not in the external.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A new philosophy, a new way of life, is not given for nothing. It has to be paid dearly for and only acquired with much patience and great effort
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To love someone means to see him as God intended him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And, indeed, I will at this point ask an idle question on my own account: which is better — cheap happiness or exalted sufferings? Well, which is better?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Even those who have renounced Christianity and attack it, in their inmost being still follow the Christian ideal, for hitherto neither their subtlety nor the ardour of their hearts has been able to create a higher ideal of man and of virtue than the ideal given by Christ of old.
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
It was a wonderful night, such a night as is only possible when we are young, dear reader.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Granted I am a babbler, a harmless vexatious babbler, like all of us. But what is to be done if the direct and sole vocation of every intelligent man is babble, that is, the intentional pouring of water through a sieve?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Accept suffering and achieve atonement through it — that is what you must do.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
