More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Know that I've forgotten precisely nothing but I've driven it all out of my head for a time, even the memories--until I've radically improved my circumstances. Then...then you'll see, I'll rise from the dead!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love a man, even in his sin, for that love is a likeness of the divine love, and is the summit of love on earth.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Humiliate the reason and distort the soul.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Believe to the end, even if all men went astray and you were left the only one faithful bring your offering even then and praise God in your loneliness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Above all, don't lie to yourself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For men are made for happiness, and any one who is completely happy has a right to say to himself, 'I am doing God's will on earth.'
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Although your mind works, your heart is darkened with depravity and without a pure heart there can be no complete and true consciousness
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beauty would save the world.
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
Who doesn't desire his fathers death?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Existentialism isn't so atheistic that it wears itself out showing that God doesn't exist. Rather, it declares that even if God did exist, that would change nothing.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To love another person is to see them as God intended them to be.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Russians alone are able to combine so many opposites in themselves at one and the same time.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For the secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for. Without a stable conception of the object of life, man would not consent to go on living, and would rather destroy himself than remain on earth, though he had bread in abundance.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Shower on him every blessing, drown him in a sea of happiness, give him economic prosperity such that he should have nothing else to do but sleep, eat cakes, and busy himself with the continuation of the species, and even then, out of sheer ingratitude, sheer spite, man would play you some nasty trick.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I walked along Nevsky Avenue.Actually it was more torture, humiliation, and bilious irritation than a stroll.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am a sick man...I am a spiteful man. I am a most unpleasant man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
they may all be drunk at my place, but they're all honest, and though we do lie-because I lie, too-in the end we'll lie our way to the truth
Fyodor Dostoevsky
You see I kept asking myself then: why am I so stupid that if others are stupid—and I know they are—yet I won't be wiser?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
With love one can live even without happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
