More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Hang your merit. I don't seek anyone's approbation.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But people will laugh at all sorts of things.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
When he has lost all hope, all object in life, man becomes a monster in his misery.
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
You will have many enemies, but even your foes will love you. Life will bring you many misfortunes, but you will find your happiness in them, and will bless life and will make others bless it-which is what matters most.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In order to love simply, it is necessary to know how to show love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am strongly convinced that not only too much consciousness but even any consciousness at all is a sickness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
May you be for ever blessed for that moment of bliss and happiness which you gave to another lonely and grateful heart. Isn't such a moment sufficient for the whole of one's life?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They tease me now, telling me it was only a dream. But does it matter whether it was a dream or reality, if the dream made known to me the truth?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The most offensive is not their lying - one can always forgive lying - lying is a delightful thing, for it leads to truth - what is offensive is that they lie and worship their own lying.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Make us your slaves, but feed us.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Because I'm a Karamazov. Because when I fall into the abyss, I go straight into it, head down and heels up, and I'm even pleased that I'm falling in just such a humiliating position, and for me I find it beautiful.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A hundred suspicions don't make a proof.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am crazy about mysterious things.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One must love life before loving its meaning ... yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Civilization merely develops man's capacity for a greater variety of sensations, and ... absolutely nothing else.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It's the moon that makes it so still, weaving some mystery.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am too young and I've loved you too much.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Or renounce life altogether! Accept fate obediently as it is, once and for all, and stifle everything in myself, renouncing any right to act, to live, to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
...one may say anything about the history of the world - anything that might enter the most disordered imagination. The only thing one can't say is that it's rational.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
