| f860c25 | As soon as you have finished telling us anything, you seem to be ashamed of what you've said," Aglaia observed suddenly. "Why is that?" | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 9db0f6c | And even though we may be involved with the most important affairs, achieve distinction or fall into some great misfortune- all the same, let us never forget how good we all once felt here, all together, united by such good and kind feelings as made us, too,...perhaps better than we actually are. | brothers-karamazov dostoevsky russian-literature graduation | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| a0961bb | Come, try, give any one of us, for instance, a little more independence, untie our hands, widen the spheres of our activity, relax the control and we...yes, I assure you...we should be begging to be under control again at once. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 0a8410f | I was overpowered by the mere sensation of that dream and it alone survived in my sorely wounded heart. | pain illusion dreams sadness heart hope lifeless soulless sensation wounds emptiness | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |

| 57a481c | It is acknowledged that neither convict prisons, nor the hulks, nor any system of hard labour ever cured a criminal. These forms of chastisement only punish him and reassure society against the offences he might commit. Confinement, regulation, and excessive work have no effect but to develop with these men profound hatred, a thirst for forbidden enjoyment, and frightful recalcitrations. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| efa4966 | The only gain of civilisation for mankind is the greater capacity for variety of sensations - and absolutely nothing more. | notes-from-the-underground sensations fyodor-dostoyevsky | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |

| 835c83c | But 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. I | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| ff122a1 | Dreams appear much more prominent and clear when the dreamer is in an unhealthy state - they have an extraordinary semblance of reality. Most monstrous pictures are put together but all the circumstances are so subtly interwoven the details so artistically harmonious in every minute respect as to defy human imitation. Such morbid dreams are always recollected for very long and produce strong impressions on the disordered and already excited.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 646a955 | Active love is labor and perseverance, and for some people, perhaps, a whole science. But I predict that even in that very moment when you see with horror that despite all your efforts, you not only have not come nearer your goal but seem to have gotten farther from it, at that very moment--I predict this to you--you will suddenly reach your goal and will clearly behold over you the wonder-working power of the Lord, who all the while has be.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| dd27801 | Life had stepped into the place of theory and something quite different would work itself out in his mind. | mind theory god life universal thought soul | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| d9e7614 | In a morbid condition of the brain, dreams often have a singular actuality, vividness, and extraordinary semblance of reality. At times monstrous images are created, but the setting and the whole picture are so truthlike and filled with details so delicate, so unexpectedly, but so artistically consistent, that the dreamer, were he an artist like Pushkin or Turgenev even, could never have invented them in the waking state. Such sick dreams a.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| bda5c6c | If the wickedness of people arouses indignation and insurmountable grief in you, to the point that you desire to revenge yourself upon the wicked, fear that feeling most of all; go at once and seek torments for yourself, as if you yourself were guilty of their wickedness. Take these torments upon yourself and suffer them, and your heart will be eased, and you will understand that you, too, are guilty, for you might have shone to the wicked,.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 2f04baf | He who loves men, loves their joy. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| e0dad43 | Whatever distinguishes one lump of flesh from another when we're alive, we're all the same once we're dead. Just used-up shells. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 7ece780 | To kill for murder is an immeasurably greater evil than the actual crime itself. Judicial murder is immeasurably more horrible than one committed by a robber. Someone killed by a robber, knifed at night in forest or somewhere, certainly keeps hoping for a rescue right up to the last second. There have been instances of people whose throats have been cut still hoping for rescue right up to the last second. There have been instances of people.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| e4a6402 | That day must come when men will understand that freedom and daily bread enough to satisfy all are unthinkable and can never be had together, as men will never be able to fairly divide the two among themselves. And they will also learn that they can never be free, for they are weak, vicious, miserable nonentities born wicked and rebellious. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 1fcfa7f | In fact, I believe that the best definition of man is the ungrateful biped. But that is not all, that is not his worst defect; his worst defect is his perpetual moral obliquity... | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 3ac1f5c | When I was twelve I was obsessed. Everything was sex. Latin was sex. The dictionary fell open at 'meretrix', a harlot. You could feel the mystery coming off the word like musk. 'Meretrix'! This was none of your mensa-a-table, this was a flash from a forbidden planet, and it was everywhere. History was sex, French was sex, art was sex, the Bible, poetry, penfriends, games, music, everything was sex except biology which was obviously sex but .. | sex love virginity | Tom Stoppard | |
| b033900 | I extract significance from melodrama, a significance which it does not in fact contain; but occasionally, from out of this matter, there escapes a thin beam of light that, seen at the right angle, can crack the shell of mortality. | Tom Stoppard | ||
| 070cd96 | Death is the ultimate negative. | Tom Stoppard | ||
| 794a764 | People love nobody as much as they do their hatred. | Adolfo Bioy Casares | ||
| 8075358 | Jon Spiro might have "stuff " that the military didn't have, but Artemis Fowl had "stuff " that humans had never seen." | Eoin Colfer | ||
| dcb0666 | In spite of what youngsters think, parents do not get a sneaky thrill out of punishing their children. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 41f8387 | I'm not a person who stands still well. But the the earth is always in motion, and I like keeping up with it. I don't want just to exist. I want to know. I want to see. I want to understand. | C.J. Cherryh | ||
| a038c3f | Watch out for a man whose enemies keep disappearing. | humor watch enemies | C.J. Cherryh | |
| 2537665 | Yes, ma'am," he said, and folded his hands and stopped where he was, listening, waiting while a very sick woman tried to gather her faculties. "First off, tell the dowager she's a right damn bastard." It was no time for a translator to argue. Mitigation, however, was a reasonable tactic. "Aiji-ma, Sabin-aiji has heard our suspicions regarding Tamun and received assurances from me and Gin-aiji that we have not arranged a coup of our own. She.. | C.J. Cherryh | ||
| ee0cdba | We say and exclaim within ourselves without breaking silence, in a tumult where everything speaks except our mouths. The realities of the soul are none the less real for being invisible and impalpable. | Victor Hugo | ||
| d0b8b4e | I didn't believe it could be so monstrous. It's wrong to be so absorbed in divine law as not to perceive human law. Death belongs to God alone. By what right do men tough that unknown thing? | Victor Hugo | ||
| 36a499b | Ma bouche n'avait pas dit une chose que deja ton coeur avait repondu. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 984dd99 | He had to accept the fate of every newcomer to a small town where there are plenty of tongues that gossip and few minds that think. | small-towns gossip | Victor Hugo | |
| 2652525 | I think of winter, which is nothing but a rift in the firmament through which the winds break loose, the shreds of cloud over the hilltops in the new blue of the morning -- and dew-drops, those false pearls, and frost, that beauty powder, and mankind in disarray and events out of joint, and so many spots on the sun and so many craters in the moon and so much wretchedness everywhere -- when I think of all this I can't help feeling that God i.. | Victor Hugo | ||
| af4b118 | The slightest contact with logic makes all false arguments disintegrate. | Victor Hugo | ||
| d9059bd | Every man who has in his soul a secret feeling of revolt against any act of the State, of life, or of destiny, is on the verge of riot; and so soon as it appears, he begins to quiver, and to feel himself borne away by the whirlwind. | riot | Victor Hugo | |
| 51f1cd5 | We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution. | Victor Hugo | ||
| e4b83bb | These are dark radiances. They have no suspicion that they are to be pitied. Certainly they are so. He who does not weep does not see. They are to be admired and pitied, as one would both pity and admire a being at once night and day, without eyes beneath his lashes but with a star on his brow. | Victor Hugo | ||

| e7f9f30 | The boughs, without becoming detached from the trunk grow away from it. | Victor Hugo | ||
| d5059cc | He said, moreover, "Teach those who are ignorant as many things as possible; society is culpable, in that it does not afford instruction gratis; it is responsible for the night which it produces. This soul is full of shadow; sin is therein committed. The guilty one is not the person who has committed the sin, but the person who has created the shadow." It will be perceived that he had a peculiar manner of his own of judging things: I suspec.. | education social-issues inequality | Victor Hugo | |
| 8ce7659 | Not seeing people allows you to think of them as perfect in all kinds of ways. | Victor Hugo | ||
