More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
You can be sincere and still be stupid.
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
Man is a pliable animal, a being who gets accustomed to everything!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Men like to to count their troubles few calculate their happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In abstract love of humanity one almost always only loves oneself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Truly great men must, I think, experience great sorrow on the earth.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A single day is sufficient for a man to discover what happiness is.
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
Above all, do not lie to yourself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Even those who have renounced Christianity and attack it, in their inmost being still follow the Christian ideal, for hitherto neither their subtlety nor the ardour of their hearts has been able to create a higher ideal of man and of virtue than the ideal given by Christ of old.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
My sweetheart! When I think of you, it's as if I'm holding some healing balm to my sick soul, and although i suffer for you, i find that even suffering for you is easy.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What matters, said the prince at last, is that you have a child's trusting nature and extraordinary truthfulness. Do you know that a great deal can be forgiven you for that alone?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
This pleasure comes precisely from the sharpest awareness of your own degradation from the knowledge that you have gone to the utmost limit that it is despicable, yet cannot be otherwise that you no longer have any way out that you will never become a different man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Or renounce life altogether! Accept fate obediently as it is, once and for all, and stifle everything in myself, renouncing any right to act, to live, to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They were like two enemies in love with one another.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is nothing more alluring to man than freedom of conscience, but neither is there anything more agonizing.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beauty will save the world
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To kill someone for committing murder is a punishment incomparably worse than the crime itself. Murder by legal sentence is immeasurably more terrible than murder by brigands.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The prince says that the world will be saved by beauty! And I maintain that the reason he has such playful ideas is that he is in love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I did not bow down to you, I bowed down to all the suffering of humanity.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
