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.

More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Grown-up people do not know that a child can give exceedingly good advice even in the most difficult case.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
All the Utopias will come to pass only when we grow wings and all people are converted into angels.
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
But yet I am firmly persuaded that a great deal of consciousness, every sort of consciousness, in fact, is a disease.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If not reason, then the devil.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The consciousness of life is higher than life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A special form of misery had begun to oppress him of late. There was nothing poignant, nothing acute about it but there was a feeling of permanence, of eternity about it it brought a foretaste of hopeless years of this cold leaden misery, a foretaste of an eternity on a square yard of space.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A fool with a heart and no sense is just as unhappy as a fool with sense and no heart.
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
Be not forgetful of prayer. Every time you pray, if your prayer is sincere, there will be new feeling and new meaning in it, which will give you fresh courage, and you will understand that prayer is an education.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
People with new ideas, people with the faintest capacity for saying something new, are extremely few in number, extraordinarily so, in fact.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For all is like an ocean, all flows and connects touch it in one place and it echoes at the other end of the world.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Gentlemen, let us suppose that man is not stupid. (Indeed one cannot refuse to suppose that, if only from the one consideration, that, if man is stupid, then who is wise?) But if he is not stupid, he is monstrously ungrateful! Phenomenally ungrateful. In fact, I believe that the best definition of man is the ungrateful biped.
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
I agree that two and two make four is an excellent thing but to give everything its due, two and two make five is also a very fine thing.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Oh, if only I did nothing simply as a result of laziness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One must be a great man indeed to be able to hold out even against common sense. Or else a fool.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Nothing is more seductive for a man than his freedom of conscience, but nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
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
To be acutely conscious is a disease, a real, honest-to-goodness disease.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
