More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
To achieve perfection, one must first begin by not understanding many things! And if we understand too quickly, we may not understand well.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Civilization merely develops man's capacity for a greater variety of sensations, and ... absolutely nothing else.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It’s not God that I do not accept, you understand, it is this world of God’s, created by God, that I do not accept and cannot agree to accept.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I can see the sun, but even if I cannot see the sun, I know that it exists. And to know that the sun is there - that is living.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Men like to to count their troubles few calculate their happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
At first, art imitates life. Then life will imitate art.Then life will find its very existence from the arts.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I have in my own life merely carried to the extreme that which you have never ventured to carry even halfway and what's more, you've regarded your cowardice as prudence, and found comfort in deceiving yourselves. So that, in fact, I may be even more alive than you are. Do take a closer look!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Of course my jokes are in poor taste, inappropriate, and confused they reveal my lack of security. But that is because I have no respect for myself.
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
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.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If man has one good memory to go by, that may be enough to save him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am a dreamer. I know so little of real life that I just can’t help re-living such moments as these in my dreams, for such moments are something I have very rarely experienced. I am going to dream about you the whole night, the whole week, the whole year.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The more stupid one is, the closer one is to reality. The more stupid one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence squirms and hides itself. Intelligence is unprincipled, but stupidity is honest and straightforward.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Without God all things are permitted.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is man's unique privilege, among all other organisms. By pursuing falsehood you will arrive at the truth!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
He who desires to see the living God face-to-face should not seek him in the empty, firmament of his mind, but in human love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I don’t even know what I’m writing, I have no idea, I don’t know anything, and I’m not reading over it, and I’m not correcting my style, and I’m writing just for the sake of writing, just for the sake of writing more to you… My precious, my darling, my dearest!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
When reason fails, the devil helps!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Russia was a slave in Europe but would be a master in Asia.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Paradise is hidden in each one of use, it is concealed within me too, right now, and if I wish, it will come for me in reality, tomorrow even, and for the rest of my life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
