Fyodor Dostoevsky
Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The world has proclaimed the reign of freedom, especially of late, but what do we see in this freedom of theirs? Nothing but slavery and self-destruction!

Fyodor Dostoevsky
Let us be servants in order to be leaders.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
Know that I've forgotten precisely nothing but I've driven it all out of my head for a time, even the memories--until I've radically improved my circumstances. Then...then you'll see, I'll rise from the dead!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
