More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Men like to to count their troubles few calculate their happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If not reason, then the devil.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I sometimes think love consists precisely of the voluntary gift by the loved object of the right to tyrannize over it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
When he has lost all hope, all object in life, man becomes a monster in his misery.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A cultivated and decent man cannot be vain without setting a fearfully high standard for himself, and without despising and almost hating himself at certain moments.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The chief thing is to love others like yourself, that's the chief thing, and that's everything nothing else is wanted - you will find out at once how to arrange it all.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For men are made for happiness, and any one who is completely happy has a right to say to himself, 'I am doing God's will on earth.'
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I agree that two and two make four is an excellent thing but to give everything its due, two and two make five is also a very fine thing.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is easier for a Russian to become an Atheist, than for any other nationality in the world. And not only does a Russian 'become an Atheist,' but he actually BELIEVES IN Atheism, just as though he had found a new faith, not perceiving that he has pinned his faith to a negation. Such is our anguish of thirst!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Shower on him every blessing, drown him in a sea of happiness, give him economic prosperity such that he should have nothing else to do but sleep, eat cakes, and busy himself with the continuation of the species, and even then, out of sheer ingratitude, sheer spite, man would play you some nasty trick.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
... you simply can't imagine what men will say!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man ... just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he's a good man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
At such times I felt something was drawing me away, and I kept fancying that if I walked straight on, far, far away and reached that line where the sky and earth meet, there I should find the key to the mystery, there I should see a new life a thousand times richer and more turbulent than ours.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It's in the homes of spiteful old widows that one finds such cleanliness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I could not become anything neither good nor bad neither a scoundrel nor an honest man neither a hero nor an insect. And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything, that only a fool can become something.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The world stands on absurdities, and without them perhaps nothing at all would happen.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I almost do not exist now and I know it God knows what lives in me in place of me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is no virtue if there is no immortality.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
