More quotes by 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
The world stands on absurdities, and without them perhaps nothing at all would happen.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I have been tortured with longing to believe ... and the yearning grows stronger the more cogent the intellectual difficulties stand in the way.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Totally without hope one cannot live. To live without hope is to cease to live. Hell is hopelessness. It is no accident that above the entrance to Dante's hell is the inscription: Leave behind all hope, you who enter here.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life is what matters, life alone - the continuous, eternal process of discovering life - and not the discovery itself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every man needs a place to go to.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am strongly convinced that not only too much consciousness but even any consciousness at all is a sickness.
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
It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool's paradise.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Thus, as a result of heightened consciousness, a man feels as if it's all right if he's bad as long as he knows it- as though that were any consolation.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The consciousness of life is higher than life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For if there's no everlasting God, there's no such thing as virtue, and there's no need of it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The jealous are the readiest of all to forgive, and all women know it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
If man has one good memory to go by, that may be enough to save him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I cannot truly imagine a truly great person who hasn't suffered.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They won't let me ... I can't be ... good!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Hang your merit. I don't seek anyone's approbation.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Catch several hares and you won't catch one.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
