Fyodor Dostoevsky Quotes

It is always so, when we are unhappy we feel more strongly the unhappiness of others; our feeling is not shattered, but becomes concentrated Picture Quote #1

Because I’m a Karamazov. Because when I fall into the abyss, I go straight into it, head down and heels up, and I’m even pleased that I’m falling in just such a humiliating position, and for me I find it beautiful Picture Quote #1

You will have many enemies, but even your foes will love you. Life will bring you many misfortunes, but you will find your happiness in them, and will bless life and will make others bless it-which is what matters most Picture Quote #1

I believe there is no one deeper, lovelier, more sympathetic and more perfect than Jesus Picture Quote #1

Perhaps a normal man is supposed to be stupid-how do we know? Perhaps it’s even very beautiful Picture Quote #1

Love every leaf, every ray of light. Love the animals, love the plants, love each separate thing. Loving all, you will perceive the mystery of God in all Picture Quote #1

The Golden Age is the most implausible of all dreams. But for it men have given up their life and strength; for the sake of it prophets have died and been slain; without it the people will not live and cannot die Picture Quote #1

By interpreting freedom as the propagation and immediate gratification of needs, people distort their own nature, for they engender in themselves a multitude of pointless and foolish desires, habits, and incongruous stratagems. Their lives are motivated only by mutual envy, sensuality, and ostentation Picture Quote #1

Civilization merely develops man’s capacity for a greater variety of sensations, and ... absolutely nothing else Picture Quote #1

Reality is infinitely diverse, compared with even the subtlest conclusions of abstract thought, and does not allow of clear-cut and sweeping distinctions. Reality resists classification Picture Quote #1

Listen, in dreams and especially in nightmares, from indigestion or anything, a man sees sometimes such artistic visions, such complex and real actuality, such events, even a whole world of events, woven into such a plot, with such unexpected details from the most exalted matters to the last button on a cuff, as I swear Leo Tolstoy has never invented Picture Quote #1

You are told a lot about your education, but some beautiful, sacred memory, preserved since childhood, is perhaps the best education of all Picture Quote #1

One can’t understand everything at once, we can’t begin with perfection all at once! In order to reach perfection one must begin by being ignorant of a great deal. And if we understand things too quickly, perhaps we shan’t understand them thoroughly Picture Quote #1

I wanted to discuss the suffering of humanity in general, but perhaps we’d better confine ourselves to the sufferings of children Picture Quote #1

I think that if one is faced by inevitable destruction -- if a house is falling upon you, for instance -- one must feel a great longing to sit down, close one’s eyes and wait, come what may . . Picture Quote #1

Since I wasn’t consulted at the time of the creation of the world, I reserve for myself the right to have my own opinion about it Picture Quote #1

Life is what matters, life alone - the continuous, eternal process of discovering life - and not the discovery itself Picture Quote #1

Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love Picture Quote #1

To achieve perfection, one must first begin by not understanding many things! And if we understand too quickly, we may not understand well Picture Quote #1

You cannot imagine what sorrow and anger seize one’s whole soul when a great idea, which one has long and piously revered, is picked up by some bunglers and dragged into the street, to more fools like themselves, and one suddenly meets it in the flea market, unrecognizable, dirty, askew, absurdly presented, without proportion, without harmony, a toy for stupid children Picture Quote #1

It suddenly seemed to me that I was lonely, that everyone was forsaking me and going away from me Picture Quote #1

.. But do you understand, I cry to him, do you understand that along with happiness, in the exact same way, in perfectly equal proportion, man also needs unhappiness Picture Quote #1

And if there’s love, you can do without happiness too. Even with sorrow, life is sweet Picture Quote #1

Power is given only to him who dares to stoop and take it ... one must have the courage to dare Picture Quote #1

In a way there’s only a fine shade of difference between the healthy and the deranged Picture Quote #1
