Fyodor Dostoevsky
We must never forget that human motives are generally far more complicated than we are apt to suppose, and that we can very rarely accurately describe the motives of another.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Since I wasn't consulted at the time of the creation of the world, I reserve for myself the right to have my own opinion about it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
May you be for ever blessed for that moment of bliss and happiness which you gave to another lonely and grateful heart. Isn't such a moment sufficient for the whole of one's life?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Believe to the end, even if all men went astray and you were left the only one faithful bring your offering even then and praise God in your loneliness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I feel pity for him, and that is a poor sign of love.

Life is in ourselves and not in the external.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
