Fyodor Dostoevsky Quotes

They wanted to speak, but could not; tears stood in their eyes. They were both pale and thin; but those sick pale faces were bright with the dawn of a new future, of a full resurrection into a new life. They were renewed by love; the heart of each held infinite sources of life for the heart of the other Picture Quote #1

In such situations, of course, people don’t nurse their anger silently, they moan aloud; but these are not frank, straightforward moans, there is a kind of cunning malice in them, and that’s the whole point. Those very moans express the sufferer’s delectation; if he did not enjoy his moans, he wouldn’t be moaning Picture Quote #1

When I look back at the past and think of all the time I squandered in error and idleness,... then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift... every minute could have been an eternity of happiness! If only youth knew! Now my life will change; now I will be reborn Picture Quote #1

You pass by a little child, you pass by, spiteful, with ugly words, with wrathful heart; you may not have noticed the child, but he has seen you, and your image, unseemly and ignoble, may remain in his defenseless heart. You don’t know it, but you may have sown an evil seed in him and it may grow, and all because you were not careful before the child, because you did not foster in yourself a careful, actively benevolent love Picture Quote #1

I’ve made a terrible confession to you, he concluded gloomily. Do appreciate it, gentlemen. And it’s not enough, not enough to appreciate it, you must not just appreciate it, it should also be precious to you, and if not, if this, too, goes past your souls, then it means you really do not respect me, gentlemen. I tell you that, and I will die of shame at having confessed to such men as you Picture Quote #1

I am a sick man… I am a spiteful man. I am an unpleasant man. I think my liver is diseased Picture Quote #1

The best definition of man is: a being that goes on two legs and is ungrateful Picture Quote #1

A widow, the mother of a family, and from her heart she produces chords to which my whole being responds Picture Quote #1

To kill someone for committing murder is a punishment incomparably worse than the crime itself. Murder by legal sentence is immeasurably more terrible than murder by brigands Picture Quote #1

Man is unhappy because he doesn’t know he’s happy. It’s only that Picture Quote #1

Men reject their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and honor those they have slain Picture Quote #1

So long as man remains free he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find some one to worship Picture Quote #1

I agree that two times two is four is an excellent thing; but if we’re going to start praising everything, then two times two is five is sometimes also a most charming little thing Picture Quote #1
