| 99c1f88 | He was in the hospital from the middle of Lent till after Easter. When he was better, he remembered the dreams he had had while he was feverish and delirious. He dreamt that the whole world was condemned to a terrible new strange plague that had come to Europe from the depths of Asia. All were to be destroyed except a very few chosen. Some new sorts of microbes were attacking the bodies of men, but these microbes were endowed with intellige.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| f2c807d | That is all about the raising of Lazarus," she whispered severely and abruptly, and turning away she stood motionless, not daring to raise her eyes to him. She still trembled feverishly. The candle-end was flickering out in the battered candle-stick, dimly lighting up the poverty-stricken room the murderer and the harlot who had so strangely been reading together the eternal book. Five minutes or more passed." | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 7a21adf | Kto sumienie posiada, niech cierpi, skoro zdal sobie sprawe z pomylki. Bedzie mu to kara - obok katorgi. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 7564742 | Beggars, especially noble beggars, should never show themselves in the street; they should ask for alms through the newspapers. It's still possible to love one's neighbor abstractly, and even occasionally from a distance, but hardly ever up close. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| f927cfd | But we have science, and through it we shall again find the truth, but we shall now accept it consciously, knowledge is higher than feelings, the consciousness of life is higher than life. Science will give us wisdom, wisdom will discover laws, and knowledge of the laws of happiness is higher than happiness. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| f8a4a49 | he drew out of his pocket an old-fashioned flat silver watch, on the back of which was engraved a globe; the chain was of steel. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 89c80c2 | Braco, ne bojte se grehova ljudskih, volite coveka i u grehu njegovom, jer kad ko voli coveka gresnog, to je vec slika Bozanske ljubavi i vrhunac je ljubavi na zemlji. Volite sve stvorenje Bozje i celokupno i svaku mrvicu. Svaki listic, svaku zraku Bozju volite. Volite zivotinje, volite bilje, volite svaku stvar. Budes li voleo svaku stvar - i tajnu ces Bozju razumeti u stvarima. A shvatis li je jedared, ti ces je posle neumorno poceti pozn.. | love-people | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 4c440d2 | Vorrei penetrare il suo segreto, vorrei che lei venisse da me e mi dicesse: "Io ti amo", e se non e cosi, se questa follia non e pensabile, allora... allora che cosa desiderare? Forse so io stesso quel che desidero? Sono anch'io come sperduto: vorrei soltanto starle accanto, essere nella sua aura, nella sua luce, eternamente, per tutta la vita. Altro non so! Potrei forse allontanarmi da lei?" | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 6152f3f | He could not pass by children without his soul being shaken: such is the man. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| b289cb7 | it was not a matter of miracles. It was not an expectation of miracles, frivolous in its impatience. Alyosha did not need miracles then for the triumph of certain convictions (it was not that at all), nor so that some sort of former, preconceived idea would quickly triumph over another...Again, it was not miracles he needed, but only a "higher justice," which, as he believed, had been violated--it was this that wounded his heart so cruelly .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 57fbeb3 | I am glad that at such a moment my young man turned out to be not so reasonable; the time will come for an intelligent man to be reasonable, but if at such an exceptional moment there is no love to be found in a young man's heart, then when will it come? | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 0305500 | He thirsted for this resurrection and renewal. The vile bog he had gotten stuck in of his own free will burdened him too much, and, like a great many men in such cases, he believed most of all in a change of place: if only it weren't for these people, if only it weren't for these circumstances, if only one could fly away from the curses place--then everything would be reborn! That was what he believed in and what he longed for. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 9479374 | That's as it should be, they tell us. A certain percentage, they tell us, must every year go, that way, to the devil, I suppose, so that the rest may remain chaste, and not be interfered with. A percentage! What splendid words they have; they are so scientific, so consolatory. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| e58cd67 | Man, do not pride yourself on superiority to the animals; they are without sin, and you, with your greatness, defile the earth by your appearance on it, and leave the traces of your foulness after you- alas, | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 2952f31 | in order to understand any man one must be deliberate and careful to avoid forming prejudices and mistaken ideas, which are very difficult to correct and get over afterwards. And | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 10e1020 | Hesitation, anxiety, the struggle between belief and disbelief--all that is sometimes such a torment for a conscientious man... that it's better to hang oneself. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 080c325 | So a man will sometimes go through half an hour of mortal terror with a brigand, yet when the knife is at his throat at last, he feels no fear. Raskolnikov | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 9a0a724 | Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass 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, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices, all from continual lying to other .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 6f11964 | But what can a decent man speak of with most pleasure? Answer: Of himself. Well, so I will talk about myself. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 6a1c17e | El caballero autentico, aunque pierda cuanto tiene, no debe alterarse. El dinero esta tan por bajo de la dignidad de un caballero que casi no vale la pena pensar en el. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| eced434 | And the peasants would beat them so cruelly, sometimes even about the nose and eyes, and he felt so sorry, so sorry for them that he almost cried, and his mother always used to take him away from the window. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 7c48048 | I agree that ghosts only appear to the sick, but that only proves that they are unable to appear except to the sick, not that they don't exist. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 5dd5c55 | No, I couldn't do it, I couldn't do it! Granted, granted that there is no flaw in all that reasoning, that all that I have concluded this last month is clear as day, true as arithmetic... . My God! Anyway I couldn't bring myself to it! I couldn't do it, I couldn't do it! Why, why then am I still ... ? | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 961333c | I would give away all this superstellar life, all the ranks and honours, simply to be transformed into the soul of a merchant's wife weighing eighteen stone and set candles at God's shrine | devil dostoyevsky ivan karamazov | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |

| 7ea8e63 | Se habla del fuego del infierno tomando la expresion en su sentido literal. No me atrevo a sondear este misterio, pero me parece que si hubiese verdaderas llamas, los condenados se regocijarian, pues el tormento fisico les haria olvidar, aunque solo fuera por un instante, la tortura moral, mucho mas horrible que la del cuerpo. Es imposible librarlos de este dolor, pues esta dentro de ellos, no fuera. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 40d46c2 | We are born dead, and moreover we have long ceased to be the sons of living fathers. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| c12449b | And we may ask the scornful themselves: If our hope is a dream, when will you build up your edifice and order things justly by your intellect alone, without Christ? If they declare that it is they who are advancing towards unity, only the most simple-hearted among them believe it, so that one may positively marvel at such simplicity. Of a truth, they have more fantastic dreams than we. They aim at justice, but, denying Christ, they will end.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 3e476b0 | Elbette insan bir makine degildir; iskenceci gorevi geregi dayak atar, ama arada bir onun da costugu olur. Ancak dayak atarken, cogu zaman kurbanindan kendi hincini cikardigi icin zevk duymaz. Amaci vuruslarindaki cevikligi, isinde ne kadar usta oldugunu gostererek arkadaslariyla seyircilerin takdirlerini kazanmaktir. Yani bu isi sanat askina yapar. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 051804d | With quietism like yours one could fill a hundred years with happiness. Whether one showed you an execution or a little finger, you would extract an equally edifying thought from both of them, and would still be content. That's the way to get on in life. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| a7f6b43 | Essentially, this is undoubtedly what had to happen. But Rome as a state retained too much of pagan civilization and wisdom--for example, the very aims and basic principles of the state. Whereas Christ's Church, having entered the state, no doubt could give up none of its own basic principles, of that rock on which it stood, and could pursue none but its own aims, once firmly established and shown to it by the Lord himself, among which was .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 85cccf4 | He had a high opinion of his own insight, a weakness excusable in him as he was fifty, an age at which a clever man of the world of established position can hardly help taking himself rather seriously. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| a21c43f | If anything protects society even in our time, and even reforms the criminal himself and transforms him into a different person, again it is Christ's law alone, which manifests itself in the acknowledgement of one's own conscience. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| a9661ba | Go, then, and do not be afraid. Do not be upset with people, do not take offense at their wrongs. Forgive the dead man in your heart for all the harm he did you; be reconciled with him truly. If you are repentant, it means that you love. And if you love, you already belong to God ... With love everything is bought, everything is saved. If even I, a sinful man, just like you, was moved to tenderness and felt pity for you, how much more will .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| d488dab | In the same way, I saw our General once approach the table in a stolid, important manner. A lacquey darted to offer him a chair, but the General did not even notice him. Slowly he took out his money bags, and slowly extracted 300 francs in gold, which he staked on the black, and won. Yet he did not take up his winnings--he left them there on the table. Again the black turned up, and again he did not gather in what he had won; and when, in t.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| f53b0c9 | As far as I understand it, and it's impossible not to understand it, you yourself, at the beginning and then again, very eloquently -- albeit too theoretically -- have been developing a picture of a Russia covered with an endless network of knots. For their part, each of the active groups, by proselytizing and branching out ad infinitum, has the task, through systematic denunciatory propaganda of constantly undermining the authority of the .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| e6f95f0 | The truly great are, in my view, always bound to feel a great sense of sadness during their time upon earth. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 17b9526 | It's not God that I do not accept, you understand, it is this world of God's, created by God, that I do not accept and cannot agree to accept. With one reservation: I have a childlike conviction that the sufferings will be healed and smoothed over, that the whole offensive comedy of human contradictions will disappear like a pitiful mirage, a vile concoction of man's Euclidean mind, feeble and puny as an atom, and that ultimately, at the wo.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
