More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life [had] replaced logic.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every member of the society spies on the rest, and it is his duty to inform against them. All are slaves and equal in their slavery... The great thing about it is equality... Slaves are bound to be equal.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If not reason, then the devil.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But man is a fickle and disreputable creature and perhaps, like a chess-player, is interested in the process of attaining his goal rather than the goal itself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One can know a man from his laugh, and if you like a man's laugh before you know anything of him, you may confidently say that he is a good man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Reason is the slave of passion.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Compassion is the chief law of human existence.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man is sometimes extraordinarily, passionately, in love with suffering.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Humiliate the reason and distort the soul.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Russia was a slave in Europe but would be a master in Asia.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
God is necessary, and therefore must exist...But I know that he does not and cannot exist...Don't you understand that a man with these two thoughts cannot go on living?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am a ridiculous man. They call me a madman now. That would be a distinct rise in my social position were it not that they still regard me as being as ridiculous as ever.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Right or wrong, it's very pleasant to break something from time to time.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Grown-up people do not know that a child can give exceedingly good advice even in the most difficult case.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The perpetration of a crime is accompanied by illness!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Do you think it is a vain hope that one day man will find joy in noble deeds of light and mercy, rather than in the coarse pleasures he indulges in today -- gluttony, fornication, ostentation, boasting, and envious vying with his neighbor? I am certain this is not a vain hope and that the day will come soon.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
People talk sometimes of a bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel. The tiger only tears and gnaws, that's all he can do. He would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And in fact you're not like everyone else: you weren't ashamed just now to confess bad and even ridiculous things about yourself. Who would confess such things nowadays? No one, and people have even stopped feeling any need for self-judgment.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
..., twice two is four is not life, gentlemen, but the beginning of death.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
