Fyodor Dostoevsky
We are all happy if we but knew it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I never have frustrations. The reason is to wit: Of at first I don't succeed, I quit!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
People talk sometimes of a bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel. The tiger only tears and gnaws, that's all he can do. He would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Now I'm living out my life in a corner, trying to console myself with the stupid, useless excuse that an intelligent man cannot turn himself into anything, that only a fool can make anything he wants out of himself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The jealous are the readiest of all to forgive, and all women know it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Let us be servants in order to be leaders.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Gambling is a most foolish and imprudent pursuit.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And what's strange, what would be marvelous, is not that God should really exist the marvel is that such an idea, the idea of the necessity of God, could enter the head of such a savage, vicious beast as man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
On an exceptionally hot evening early in July a young man came out of the garret in which he lodged in S. Place and walked slowly, as though in hesitation, towards K. bridge.
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
Obedience, fasting, and prayer are laughed at, yet only through them lies the way to real true freedom. I cut off my superfluous and unnecessary desires, I subdue my proud and wanton will and chastise it with obedience, and with God's help I attain freedom of spirit and with it spiritual joy.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared with love in dreams.
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
Remember that you must never sell your soul. Never accept payment in advance.... Never give a work to the printer before it is finished. This is the worst thing you can do.... It constitutes the murder of your own ideas.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For all is like an ocean, all flows and connects touch it in one place and it echoes at the other end of the world.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
