Image
The darker the night, the brighter the stars, The deeper the grief, the closer is God!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
It is easier for a Russian to become an atheist than for anyone else in the world.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Beggars, especially noble beggars, should never show themselves in the street they should ask for alms through the newspapers. It's still possible to love one's neighbor abstractly, and even occasionally from a distance, but hardly ever up close.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Every man has some reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
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
Image
Pass us by, and forgive us our happiness
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Yes, that's right... love should come before logic ... Only then will man come to understand the meaning of life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything? Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Paradise is hidden in each one of use, it is concealed within me too, right now, and if I wish, it will come for me in reality, tomorrow even, and for the rest of my life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
They won't let me ... I can't be ... good!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
The consciousness of life is higher than life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
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
Image
Come, try, give any one of us, for instance, a little more independence, untie our hands, widen the spheres of our activity, relax the control and we...yes, I assure you...we should be begging to be under control again at once.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
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
Image
And though I suffer for you, yet it eases my heart to suffer for you.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Love a man, even in his sin, for that love is a likeness of the divine love, and is the summit of love on earth.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
I utter what you would not dare think
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
. . . finally, I couldn't imagine how I could live without books, and I stopped dreaming about marrying that Chinese prince. . . .
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
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
Image
Above all, don't lie to yourself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
