Fyodor Dostoevsky
When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul-then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And though I suffer for you, yet it eases my heart to suffer for you.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love life more than the meaning of it?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To love someone means to see him as God intended him.
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
From harmony, from heavenly harmony, This universal frame began: From harmony to harmony Through all the compass of the notes it ran, The diapason closing full in Man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
How many ideas have there been in the history of man which were unthinkable ten years before they appeared?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
