More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Here my tears are falling, Nastenka. Let them flow, let them flow - they don't hurt anybody. They will dry Nastenka.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
To love another person is to see them as God intended them to be.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Hell is the inability to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For if there's no everlasting God, there's no such thing as virtue, and there's no need of it.
