More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Oh, if only I did nothing simply as a result of laziness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But people will laugh at all sorts of things.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Equality lies only in human moral dignity. ... Let there be brothers first, then there will be brotherhood, and only then will there be a fair sharing of goods among brothers.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What matters, said the prince at last, is that you have a child's trusting nature and extraordinary truthfulness. Do you know that a great deal can be forgiven you for that alone?
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
May you be for ever blessed for that moment of bliss and happiness which you gave to another lonely and grateful heart. Isn't such a moment sufficient for the whole of one's life?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
At such times I felt something was drawing me away, and I kept fancying that if I walked straight on, far, far away and reached that line where the sky and earth meet, there I should find the key to the mystery, there I should see a new life a thousand times richer and more turbulent than ours.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Until you have become really, in actual fact, as brother to everyone, brotherhood will not come to pass.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life is in ourselves and not in the external.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is no virtue if there is no immortality.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I must add... my gratitude to you for the attention with which you have listened to me, for, from my numerous observations, our Liberals are never capable of letting anyone else have a conviction of his own without at once meeting their opponent with abuse or even something worse.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I punish myself for my whole life, my whole life I punish.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To be too conscious is an illness. A real thorough going illness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What man wants is simply independent choice, whatever that independence may cost and wherever it may lead.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Hang your merit. I don't seek anyone's approbation.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am a ridiculous man. They call me a madman now. That would be a distinct rise in my social position were it not that they still regard me as being as ridiculous as ever.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Above all, do not lie to yourself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
To crush, to annihilate a man utterly, to inflict on him the most terrible of punishments so that the most ferocious murderer would shudder at it and dread it beforehand, one need only give him work of an absolutely, completely useless and irrational character.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
