Fyodor Dostoevsky
Never mind a little dirt, if the goal is splendid!
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

Every decent man of our age must be a coward and a slave. That is his normal condition. Of that I am firmly persuaded. He is made and constructed to that very end. And not only at the present time owing to some casual circumstance, but always, at all times, a decent man is bound to be a coward and a slave.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man has such a predilection for systems and abstract deductions that he is ready to distort the truth intentionally he is ready to deny the evidence of his senses only to justify his logic.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They were like two enemies in love with one another.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Power is given only to him who dares to stoop and take it ... one must have the courage to dare.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am too young and I've loved you too much.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To cook your hare you must first catch it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If it were considered desirable to destroy a human being, the only thing necessary would be to give his work a character of uselessness
