| ee6fbb7 | I passed by your lodging just now, and thought: 'I'll go in to him; he is kinder than any of them, and he was there at the time.' Forgive a poor creature who's no use to anyone; i'll go away directly; I'm going.... | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| d71e872 | But no, no, I am not to blame, Nastenka; I feel that, I know that, because my heart tells me I am right, for I cannot hurt you in any way, I cannot wound you! I was your friend, but I am still your friend, I have betrayed no trust. Here my tears are falling, Nastenka. Let them flow, let them flow -- they don't hurt anybody. They will dry, Nastenka. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 7a5e123 | I don't know how it is with others, and my feeling is that I cannot be like any other. Any other thinks, and then at once thinks something else. I cannot think something else, I think one thing all my life. God has tormented me all my life. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 05c0f15 | Insan,gelip gecici heveseleri olan,tutarsiz bir varliktir ve tipki satranc oyunculari gibi hedefe ulasmayi degilde hedefe giden yollari daha cok sever. Emin olamayiz elbette,ama insanin ulasmak icin cabaladigi sey, hedefe giden bu yol olabilir;o da hayatin ta kendisidir zaten. Aslina bakilirsa hedef,iki kere iki dorttur yani bir formuldur; ama bu formul hayatin degil,olumun baslangicidir. Insan,daima iki kere ikinin dort etmesinden az da ol.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| b85a732 | It is not the real punishment. The only effectual one, the only deterrent and softening one, lies in the recognition of sin by conscience. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 3d83970 | Here, perhaps, is the only man in the world who, were you to leave him alone and without money on the square of some unknown city with a population of a million, would not perish, would not die of cold and hunger, for he would immediately be fed and immediately be taken care of, and if no one else took care of him, he would immediately take care of himself, and it would cost him no effort, and no humiliation, and he would be no burden to th.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

"Not for my person--to hell with it--but for something else, just for now, for a few words...We are two beings, and we have come together in infinity...for the last time in the world. Abandon your tone and take a human one! At least for once in your life speak in a human voice. Not for my sake, but for your own.

| 6c9a9f5 | I've alway been struck by how little adults understand children, even their own fathers and mothers. Nothing should be kept from children on the pretext that they're little and it's too soon for them to know. Such a sad, wretched idea! Children themselves are well aware that their parents regard them as as too small and uncomprehending, when actually they understand everything. Adults don't realize that children can give extremely valuable .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| a673208 | One's very own free, unfettered desire, one's own whim, no matter how wild, one's own fantasy, even though sometimes roused to the point of madness-all this constitutes precisely that previously omitted, most advantageous advantage which isn't included under any classification and because of which all systems and theories are constantly smashed to smithereens. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| b244efe | There is a great and unresolved thought in him. He's one of those who don't need millions, but need to resolve their thought. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 997cb8c | The harmonious man, it needs to be said, hardly exists at all; out of many tens, even hundreds of thousands perhaps one or two at most are encountered, and even then in rather feeble versions. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 0acefda | Well, suppose intelligent people don't believe, but that's from intelligence, and you, I say, squirt that you are, what do you understand about God? You were taught by some student, and if he'd taught you to light icon lamps, you'd do it. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 5ce81de | Listen, Stavrogin: to level the mountains is a good idea, not a ridiculous one. I'm for Shigalyov! No need for education, enough of science! There's sufficient material even without science for a thousand years to come, but obedience must be set up. Only one thing is lacking in the world: obedience. The thirst for education is already an aristocratic thirst. As soon as there's just a tiny bit of family or love, there's a desire for property.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| b3bcf24 | Convictions and the man--it seems they're two different things in many ways. Maybe in many ways I'm guilty before them!...We're all guilty, we're all guilty, and...if only we were all convinced of it! | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 9e18bde | Caci o astfel de dragoste patimasa, salbatica, e ca o criza de nebunie, ca un streang in jurul gatului, ca o boala, dar de indata ce e satisfacuta, valul de pe ochii omului se destrama si in sufletul lui se naste sentimentul opus: ura si scarba, dorinta de a distruge, de a calca in picioare idolul de pana atunci. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 6dd44b6 | And who knows (one cannot vouch for it), perhaps the whole goal mankind strives for on earth consists just in this ceaselessness of the process of achievement alone, that is to say, in life itself, and not essentially in the goal, which, of course, is bound to be nothing other than two times two is four--that is, a formula; and two times two is four is no longer life, gentlemen, but the beginning of death. | life notes-from-underground fyodor-dostoyevsky | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 0d15709 | Just try to let yourself be carried away blindly by your feelings, without reflection, without a primary cause, suppressing consciousness even for a moment; hate or love, anything, just in order not to sit idly by with your arms folded. The day after tomorrow at the very latest, you'll begin to despise yourself for having deceived yourself knowingly. The result: a soap bubble and inertia. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| d3a409b | Alyosha was certain that no one in the whole world ever would want to hurt him, and what is more, he knew that no one could hurt him. This was for him an axiom, assumed once and for all without question. And he went his way without hesitation, relying on it. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| a9e7c1f | So that you remember that you kissed my hand, but I didn't kiss yours. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 39075ab | Hate not those who reject you, who insult you, who abuse and slander you. Hate not the atheists, the teachers of evil, the materialists--and I mean not only the good ones--for there are many good ones among them, especially in our day--hate not even the wicked ones. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 1ba2dec | I retraced my steps, walked up to her, and in another moment would have certainly said, "Madam!" if I had not known that that exclamation had been made a thousand times before in all Russian novels of high life. It was that alone that stopped me." | ref-first-night | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |

| 0764921 | My immortality is necessary if only because God would not want to commit an injustice and utterly quench the flame of love for him once it has been kindled in my heart. And what is more precious than love? Love is higher than existence, love is the crown of being, and how is it possible that existence is not subordinate to it? If I have come to love him and have taken joy in my love, is it possible that he should extinguish both me and my j.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

We shall not know what to join on to, what to cling to, what to love and what to hate, what to respect and what to despise. We are oppressed at being men--men with a real individual body and blood, we are ashamed of it, we think it a disgrace and try to contrive to be some sort of impossib.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| c797c3e | Go and tell," I whispered to him. There was little voice left in me, but I whispered it firmly. Then I took the Gospel from the table, the Russian translation, and showed him John, chapter 12, verse 24: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." I had read this verse just before he came. He read it. "True," he said, and smiled bitterly.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| e468879 | My friends, ask gladness from God. Be glad as children, as birds in the sky. And let man's sin not disturb you in your efforts, do not feat that it will dampen your endeavor and keep it from being fulfilled, do not say, "Sin is strong, impiety is strong, the bad environment is strong, and we are lonely and powerless, the bad environment will dampen us and keep our good endeavor from being fulfilled." Flee from such despondency, my children!.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 941cd17 | We are assured that the world is becoming more and more united, is being formed into brotherly communion, by the shortening of distances, by the transmitting of thoughts through the air. Alas, do not believe in such a union of people. Taking freedom to mean the increase and prompt satisfaction of needs, they distort their own nature, for they generate many meaningless and foolish desires, habits, and the most absurd fancies in themselves.

| 895117c | For active love is a harsh and fearful thing compared with love in dreams. Love in dreams thirsts for immediate action, quickly performed, and with everyone watching. Indeed, it will go as far as the giving even of one's life, provided it does not take long but is soon over, as on stage, and everyone is looking on and praising. Whereas active love is labor and perseverance, and for some people, perhaps, a whole science. | science love | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 09fea59 | And then there's another snag you keep coming across: such decent and sensible people keep appearing in life, such wise men, and such lovers of the human race who, throughout their lives, set themselves the very task of conducting themselves as properly and sensibly as possible, as it were to enlighten their neighbors for the very purpose of proving to them that it is really possible to live decently and sensibly on this earth. And so?It is.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
