More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Such is our anguish of thirst!

Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am a sick man...I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I think my liver is diseased. Then again, I don't know a thing about my illness I'm not even sure what hurts.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared with love in dreams.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
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
The jealous are the readiest of all to forgive, and all women know it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It's the moon that makes it so still, weaving some mystery.
