More quotes by 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
Sometimes a man is intensely, even passionately, attached to suffering — that is a fact.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The world has proclaimed the reign of freedom, especially of late, but what do we see in this freedom of theirs? Nothing but slavery and self-destruction! For the world says: You have desires and so satisfy them, for you have the same rights as the most rich and powerful. Don't be afraid of satisfying them and even multiply your desires.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If not reason, then the devil.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Speak of a wolf and you see his tail!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Know that I've forgotten precisely nothing but I've driven it all out of my head for a time, even the memories--until I've radically improved my circumstances. Then...then you'll see, I'll rise from the dead!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I feel pity for him, and that is a poor sign of love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is only one way to salvation, and that is to make yourself responsible for all men's sins. As soon as you make yourself responsible in all sincerity for everything and for everyone, you will see at once that this is really so, and that you are in fact to blame for everyone and for all things.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A man would still do something out of sheer perversity - he would create destruction and chaos - just to gain his point...and if all this could in turn be analyzed and prevented by predicting that it would occur, then man would deliberately go mad to prove his point.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A fool with a heart and no sense is just as unhappy as a fool with sense and no heart.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But gamblers know how a man can sit for almost twenty-four hours at cards, without looking to right, or to left.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I drink because I wish to multiply my sufferings.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Russia was a slave in Europe but would be a master in Asia.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
You ache with it all and the more mysterious it is, the more you ache.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Civilization merely develops man's capacity for a greater variety of sensations, and ... absolutely nothing else.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Here my tears are falling, Nastenka. Let them flow, let them flow - they don't hurt anybody. They will dry Nastenka.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For the secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for. Without a stable conception of the object of life, man would not consent to go on living, and would rather destroy himself than remain on earth, though he had bread in abundance.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
..., twice two is four is not life, gentlemen, but the beginning of death.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Happiness lies not in happiness but only in the attempt to achieve it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
