More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
There are chance meetings with strangers that interest us from the first moment, before a word is spoken.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To kill someone for committing murder is a punishment incomparably worse than the crime itself. Murder by legal sentence is immeasurably more terrible than murder by brigands.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To live without Hope is to Cease to live.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
All the Utopias will come to pass only when we grow wings and all people are converted into angels.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One can know a man from his laugh, and if you like a man's laugh before you know anything of him, you may confidently say that he is a good man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
One can't understand everything at once, we can't begin with perfection all at once! In order to reach perfection one must begin by being ignorant of a great deal. And if we understand things too quickly, perhaps we shan't understand them thoroughly.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Compassion is the chief law of human existence.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I sometimes think love consists precisely of the voluntary gift by the loved object of the right to tyrannize over it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I cannot understand why the world is arranged as it is.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Granted I am a babbler, a harmless vexatious babbler, like all of us. But what is to be done if the direct and sole vocation of every intelligent man is babble, that is, the intentional pouring of water through a sieve?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Without God all things are permitted.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It suddenly seemed to me that I was lonely, that everyone was forsaking me and going away from me.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Yes, that's right... love should come before logic ... Only then will man come to understand the meaning of life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am too young and I've loved you too much.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
He does not like showing his feelings and would rather do a cruel thing than open his heart freely.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is amazing what one ray of sunshine can do for a man!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A man would still do something out of sheer perversity - he would create destruction and chaos - just to gain his point...and if all this could in turn be analyzed and prevented by predicting that it would occur, then man would deliberately go mad to prove his point.
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
