Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
A widow, the mother of a family, and from her heart she produces chords to which my whole being responds.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love is a teacher, but one must know how to acquire it, for it is difficult to acquire, it is dearly bought, by long work over a long time, for one ought to love not for a chance moment but for all time. Anyone, even a wicked man, can love by chance.

The perpetration of a crime is accompanied by illness!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If not reason, then the devil.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is a law of nature that every decent man on earth is bound to be a coward and a slave
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beauty is a terrible and awful thing! It is terrible because it has not been fathomed, for God sets us nothing but riddles. Here the boundaries meet and all contradictions exist side by side.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Suffering is the sole origin of consciousness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
We must never forget that human motives are generally far more complicated than we are apt to suppose, and that we can very rarely accurately describe the motives of another.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Talking nonsense is the sole privilege mankind possesses over the other organisms. It's by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! I talk nonsense, therefore I'm human
