More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
..., twice two is four is not life, gentlemen, but the beginning of death.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It's in despair that you find the sharpest pleasures, particularly when you are most acutely aware of the hopelessness of your position.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The world has proclaimed the reign of freedom, especially of late, but what do we see in this freedom of theirs? Nothing but slavery and self-destruction! For the world says: You have desires and so satisfy them, for you have the same rights as the most rich and powerful. Don't be afraid of satisfying them and even multiply your desires.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
My sweetheart! When I think of you, it's as if I'm holding some healing balm to my sick soul, and although i suffer for you, i find that even suffering for you is easy.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Catch several hares and you won't catch one.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Since man cannot live without miracles, he will provide himself with miracles of his own making. He will believe in witchcraft and sorcery, even though he may otherwise be a heretic, an atheist, and a rebel.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am a sick man...I am a spiteful man. I am a most unpleasant man.
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
Obedience, fasting, and prayer are laughed at, yet only through them lies the way to real true freedom. I cut off my superfluous and unnecessary desires, I subdue my proud and wanton will and chastise it with obedience, and with God's help I attain freedom of spirit and with it spiritual joy.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In a morbid condition of the brain, dreams often have a singular actuality, vividness, and extraordinary semblance of reality.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The more stupid one is, the closer one is to reality. The more stupid one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence squirms and hides itself. Intelligence is unprincipled, but stupidity is honest and straightforward.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They were like two enemies in love with one another.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A hundred suspicions don't make a proof.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The absurd is only too necessary on earth. The world stands on absurdities.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A new philosophy, a new way of life, is not given for nothing. It has to be paid dearly for and only acquired with much patience and great effort
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The more incompetent one feels, the more eager he is to fight.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beauty will save the world
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Remember that you must never sell your soul. Never accept payment in advance.... Never give a work to the printer before it is finished. This is the worst thing you can do.... It constitutes the murder of your own ideas.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life had stepped into the place of theory.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But gamblers know how a man can sit for almost twenty-four hours at cards, without looking to right, or to left.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
