Fyodor Dostoevsky
Is it really not possible to touch the gaming table without being instantly infected by superstition?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man is a creature that can get accustomed to anything, and I think that is the best definition of him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
We do not understand that life is paradise, for it suffices only to wish to understand it, and at once paradise will appear in front of us in its beauty.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And in fact you're not like everyone else: you weren't ashamed just now to confess bad and even ridiculous things about yourself. Who would confess such things nowadays? No one, and people have even stopped feeling any need for self-judgment.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Only the heart knows how to find what is precious.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
