Fyodor Dostoevsky
Since man cannot live without miracles, he will provide himself with miracles of his own making. He will believe in witchcraft and sorcery, even though he may otherwise be a heretic, an atheist, and a rebel.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
What man wants is simply independent choice, whatever that independence may cost and wherever it may lead.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
originality and a feeling of one's own dignity are achieved only through work and struggle.
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
Above all, do not lie to yourself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Truly great men must, I think, experience great sorrow on the earth.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They have succeeded in accumulating a greater mass of objects, but the joy in the world has grown less.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beauty is a terrible and awful thing! It is terrible because it has not been fathomed, for God sets us nothing but riddles. Here the boundaries meet and all contradictions exist side by side.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life is what matters, life alone - the continuous, eternal process of discovering life - and not the discovery itself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
