More quotes by 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
But people will laugh at all sorts of things.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
We always imagine eternity as something beyond our conception, something vast, vast! But why must it be vast?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What is hell?...The suffering that comes from the consciousness that one is no longer able to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I never have frustrations. The reason is to wit: Of at first I don't succeed, I quit!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every decent man of our age must be a coward and a slave. That is his normal condition. Of that I am firmly persuaded. He is made and constructed to that very end. And not only at the present time owing to some casual circumstance, but always, at all times, a decent man is bound to be a coward and a slave.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
He seemed, indeed, to accept everything without the least condemnation though often grieving bitterly.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
From a hundred rabbits you can't make a horse.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beyond the grave they will find nothing but death. But we shall keep the secret, and for their happiness we shall allure them with the reward of heaven and eternity.
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
Woe to the man who offends a small child!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Neither a person nor a nation can exist without some higher idea. And there is only one higher idea on earth, and it is the idea of the immortality of the human soul, for all other higher ideas of life by which humans might live derive from that idea alone.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man has such a predilection for systems and abstract deductions that he is ready to distort the truth intentionally he is ready to deny the evidence of his senses only to justify his logic.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life [had] replaced logic.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The more I detest men individually the more ardent becomes my love for humanity.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Shower on him every blessing, drown him in a sea of happiness, give him economic prosperity such that he should have nothing else to do but sleep, eat cakes, and busy himself with the continuation of the species, and even then, out of sheer ingratitude, sheer spite, man would play you some nasty trick.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I've long stopped worrying about who invented whom - God man or man God.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
A single day is sufficient for a man to discover what happiness is.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
originality and a feeling of one's own dignity are achieved only through work and struggle.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Yes, that's right... love should come before logic ... Only then will man come to understand the meaning of life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
