More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
I've long stopped worrying about who invented whom - God man or man God.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.
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
I bless the rising sun each day, and, as before, my heart sings to meet it, but now I love even more its setting, its long slanting rays & the soft tender gentle memories that come with them...’ -Father Zossima
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I sometimes think love consists precisely of the voluntary gift by the loved object of the right to tyrannize over it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man is sometimes extraordinarily, passionately, in love with suffering.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If thou love each thing thou wilt perceive the mystery of God in all.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
At such times I felt something was drawing me away, and I kept fancying that if I walked straight on, far, far away and reached that line where the sky and earth meet, there I should find the key to the mystery, there I should see a new life a thousand times richer and more turbulent than ours.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Ah, Misha, he has a stormy spirit. His mind is in bondage. He is haunted by a great, unsolved doubt. He is one of those who don't want millions, but an answer to their questions.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
When reason fails, the devil helps!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am alone, I thought, and they are everybody.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Catch several hares and you won't catch one.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I want to suffer so that I may love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A cultivated and decent man cannot be vain without setting a fearfully high standard for himself, and without despising and almost hating himself at certain moments.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Pass us by, and forgive us our happiness
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I almost do not exist now and I know it God knows what lives in me in place of me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I drink because I wish to multiply my sufferings.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
This pleasure comes precisely from the sharpest awareness of your own degradation from the knowledge that you have gone to the utmost limit that it is despicable, yet cannot be otherwise that you no longer have any way out that you will never become a different man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Truly great men must, I think, experience great sorrow on the earth.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
