Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
It is amazing what one ray of sunshine can do for a man!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
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

To love another person is to see them as God intended them to be.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul-then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
If it were considered desirable to destroy a human being, the only thing necessary would be to give his work a character of uselessness
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man's life is made up of nothing, but the habits he has accumulated during the first half.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
To achieve perfection, one must first begin by not understanding many things! And if we understand too quickly, we may not understand well.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
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.
