Fyodor Dostoevsky
What makes a hero? Courage, strength, morality, withstanding adversity? Are these the traits that truly show and create a hero? Is the light truly the source of darkness or vice versa? Is the soul a source of hope or despair? Who are these so called heroes and where do they come from? Are their origins in obscurity or in plain sight?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If he has a conscience he will suffer for his mistake. That will be his punishment-as well as the prison.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To love someone means to see him as God intended him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
