| f18e3fc | some good, sacred memory, preserved from childhood, is perhaps the best education. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 45c31ee | Why, my dear fellow, you may drive yourself into delirium if you have the impulse to work upon your nerves, to go ringing bells at night and asking about blood! | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| fac8ab8 | Ces gens-la, la minute d'avant, ne savent pas s'ils vous egorgeront ou non, et puis, une fois qu'ils tiennent un couteau entre leurs mains tremblantes, et qu'ils sentent le premier jet de sang sur leurs doigts, il ne leur suffit plus de vous egorger, il faut qu'ils vous coupent la tete, tout net : << houp ! >> comme disent les forcats. C'est bien cela ! | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 17a8a48 | Hm ... yes ... a man holds the fate of the world in his two hands, and yet, simply because he is afraid, he just lets things drift -- that is a truism ... I wonder what men are most afraid of ... | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| d6960c3 | When I do leap into the pit, I go headlong with my heels up, and am pleased to be falling in that degrading attitude, and pride myself upon it. And in the very depths of that degradation I begin a hymn of praise. Let me be accursed. Let me be vile and base, only let me kiss the hem of the veil in which my God is shrouded. Though I may be following the devil, I am Thy son, O Lord, and I love Thee, and I feel the joy without which the world c.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 339a06c | What did it mean, falling at his feet like that? Was it symbolic or what? | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 90362a0 | Beauty is a terrible and awful thing! It is terrible because it has not been fathomed and never can be fathomed, for God sets us nothing but riddles. Here the boundaries meet and all contradictions exist side by side. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 023663f | Raskolnikov went out in complete confusion. This confusion became more and more intense. As he went down the stairs, he even stopped short, two or three times, as though suddenly struck by some thought. When he was in the street he cried out, "Oh, God, how loathsome it all is! and can I, can I possibly... . No, it's nonsense, it's rubbish!" he added resolutely. "And how could such an atrocious thing come into my head? What filthy things my .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 539a884 | He had not far to go; he knew indeed how many steps it was from the gate of his lodging house: exactly seven hundred and thirty. He had counted them once when he had been lost in dreams. At the time he had put no faith in those dreams and was only tantalising himself by their hideous but daring recklessness. Now, a month later, he had begun to look upon them differently, and, in spite of the monologues in which he jeered at his own impotenc.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 45c2ff3 | Kalbim konusurken susmayi bilmem. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 8ca4179 | Enderrimtari, po t'i bejme nje perkufizim te hollesishem, nuk eshte njeri, por, si me thene, nje krijese e gjinise se mesme. Gjallon te shumten e kohes ne ndonje kend te humbur, a thua se i fshihet edhe drites se diellit dhe, me t'u mbyllur ne shtepine e tij ngjitet pas saj si kermilli pas guackes, ose se paku i ngjan shume, ne kete drejtim, asaj kafshes interesante qe eshte kafshe dhe shtepi njeheresh dhe qe quhet breshke... | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 99915c1 | Thou wouldst not enslave man by a miracle, and didst crave faith given freely, not based on miracle. Thou didst crave for free love and not the base raptures of the slave before the might that has overawed him for ever. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 9373612 | Nitkovu bi uzvratila na prezir dakako samo prezirom, ali ipak bi je zaboljelo srce kad bi se tko narugao onomu sto ona smatra za svetinju, makar tko se podrugivao. Nije to potjecalo od nedostatka odlucnosti. Potjecalo je donekle i od toga sto je preslabo poznavala svijet, sto je preslabo poznavala ljude i zatvarala se u svoj zakutak. Takvim je ljudima tesko kad se kasnije razocaraju; jos je teze kad osjecas da si sam kriv. Zasto si ocekivao.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| dd97bb8 | Adeseori, un om rabda in tacere ani de-a randul, indura resemnat cele mai crunte pedepse, dar deodata il vezi rabufnind dintr-o nimica toata, pentru te miri ce lucru neinsemnat, incat ramai uluit si te intrebi de mai e in toate mintile; caci ceea ce face el atunci pare de-a dreptul o nebunie. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 8ca1356 | Remember particularly that you cannot be a judge of any one. For no one can judge a criminal, until he recognises that he is just such a criminal as the man standing before him, and that he perhaps is more than all men to blame for that crime. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 741bdc8 | A fresh dream-fresh happiness! A fresh rush of delicate, voluptuous poison! What is real life to him ! To his corrupted eyes we live, you and I, Nastenka, so torpidly, slowly, insipidly; in his eyes we are all so dissatisfied with our fate, so exhausted by our life"! And, truly, see how at first sight everything is cold, morose, as though ill-humoured among us. . . . Poor things! thinks our dreamer. And it is no wonder that he thinks it! Lo.. | dreams reality romance | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| e99c7f3 | It's magnificent, Alyosha, this science! A new man's arising-that I understand.... And yet I am sorry to lose God! | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 1863aa9 | I did dream of it, chiefly because 'all things are lawful.' That was quite right what you taught me, for you talked a lot to me about that. For if there's no everlasting God, there's no such thing as virtue, and there's no need of it. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 746d073 | For men are made for happiness, and any one who is completely happy has a right to say to himself, 'I am doing God's will on earth. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 56836fd | proofs are no help to believing, especially material proofs. Thomas believed, not because he saw Christ risen, but because he wanted to believe, before he saw. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| a692299 | Outwardly it's the truth, but inwardly, a lie! | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| b6af906 | The worst of such stories is that the triumphant romancers can always be put to confusion and crushed by the very details in which real life is so rich and which these unhappy and involuntary story-tellers neglect as insignificant trifles. Oh, they have no thought to spare for such details, their minds are concentrated on their grand invention as a whole, and fancy any one daring to pull them up for a trifle! But that's how they are caught. | small-details story-teller story-telling storyteller storytelling | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 53e80b0 | That 'creature,' that 'woman of loose behaviour' is perhaps holier than you are yourselves, you monks who are seeking salvation! She fell perhaps in her youth, ruined by her environment. But she loved much and Christ himself forgave the woman 'who loved much. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 93f2998 | The feeling of intense repulsion, which had begun to oppress and torture his heart while he was on his way to the old woman, had by now reached such a pitch and had taken such a definite form that he did not know what to do with himself to escape from his wretchedness | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 287ab14 | Yes, man is broad, too broad, indeed. I'd have him narrower | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 30a0cb3 | our fatal troika dashes on in her headlong flight perhaps to destruction and in all Russia for long past men have stretched out imploring hands and called a halt to its furious reckless course. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| ead10d0 | but the most sumptuous thing in the room at that moment was naturally the sumptuously laid table, though, of course, even that was comparatively speaking: the table-cloth was clean, the silver was brightly polished; three kinds of wonderfully baked bread, two bottles of wine, two bottles of excellent monastery mead, and a large glass jug of monastery kvas, famous throughout the neighbourhood. There was no vodka at all. Rakitin related after.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| ddb7702 | It's precisely their diseases that people pride themselves on, and I do-more perhaps than anybody else. Let's not argue; my objection was absurd. But that aside, I am firmly convinced that not only excess of consciousness, but any consciousness at all is a disease. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| e32583d | I am an inveterate buffoon, and been from birth up, your reverence, it's as though it were a craze in me. I dare say it's a devil within me. But only a little one. A more serious one would have chosen another lodging. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 409e4db | man holds the remedy in his own hands, and lets everything go its own way, simply through cowardice- that is an axiom. | punishment | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 52227c0 | Though the sleepy, myopic, and rather bald-pated figure reflected in the mirror was precisely of such insignificant quality as to arrest decidedly no one's exclusive attention at first sight, its owner evidently remained perfectly pleased with all he saw in the mirror. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| f76290b | I could never stand more than three months of dreaming at a time without feeling an irresistible desire to plunge into society. To plunge into society meant to visit my superior at the office, Anton Antonitch Syetotchkin. He was the only permanent acquaintance I have had in my life, and I wonder at the fact myself now. But I only went to see him when that phase came over me, and when my dreams had reached such a point of bliss that it becam.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 2bed23e | Ottsy i uchiteli, mysliu: "chto est' ad?" Rassuzhdaiu tak: "Stradanie o tom, chto nel'zia uzhe bolee liubit'" | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 6f0b508 | No es mi inteligencia la que me ayuda, sino el diablo. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 4730478 | Repeat to yourself every day and as often as you can: 'O Lord, have mercy on all those who will appear before You today.' For every hour, every second, thousands of men leave this world and their souls appear before the Lord, and no one knows how many of them leave this earth in isolation, sadness, and anguish, with no one to take pity on them or even care whether they live or die. And so your prayer for such a man will rise to the Lord fro.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 9dfab9a | dupa ce a trecut o linie interzisa pentru el, incepe sa nu i se mai para nimic sfant pe lume, de parca ceva-l impinge sa sara peste orice fel de legalitate si putere si sa se delecteze cu libertatea cea mai neinfranata ... | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 79cac89 | And what if there are only spiders there, or something of that sort | phylosophy | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 440a204 | He was one of that countless and multifarious legion of vulgar persons, sickly abortions and half-educated petty tyrants who like a flash attach themselves to the current ideas that are most fashionable in order, again like a flash,to vulgarize them, caricaturing the very cause they seek to serve, sometimes with great genuineness. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| e2dd328 | O sofrimento! Mas e a causa unica da consciencia! Eu vos declarei, e verdade, no inicio, que, a consciencia, na minha opiniao, e um dos maiores males do homem; mas sei que o homem a ama e nao a trocara por nenhuma satisfacao, seja qual for. | satisfação sofrimento | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 38cc21c | Por que no nos tratamos unos a otros como hermanos? ?Por que hasta el hombre mas bueno disimula y calla en presencia de otro? ?Por que no decir sin rodeos lo que tiene uno en el corazon, inmediatamente, cuando sabe uno que su palabra no se la llevara el viento? ?Por que parecer mas adusto de lo que uno es en realidad? Es como si cada cual temiera violentar los propios sentimientos si los expresa libremente. | Dostoyevsky Fyodor | ||
| fd014cc | People won't change, nobody can reform them, and it's not worth the effort! Yes, that's right! It's the law of their being. . . . Their law, Sonia! That's right! I know now, Sonia, that whoever is strong and self-confident in mind and spirit has power over them! Whoever is bold and dares has right on his side. Whoever can spit on the most people becomes their legislator, and whoever dares the most has the most right! So it has been in the p.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| db6fed7 | Do not weep, life is paradise, and we are all in paradise, but we do not want to know it, and if we did want to know it, tomorrow there would be paradise the world over. | religion | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 71cc316 | Orice poate fi discutabil pana la infinit, dar din mine nu a razbit decat negarea, fara niciun fel de generozitate si fara niciun fel de forta. Asadar, nici macar o negare adevarata n-am fost in stare sa intruchipez. Totul si intotdeauna n-a fost decat meschin si fara vlaga. Supragenerosul Kirillov n-a suportat ideea si s-a impuscat; dar eu imi dau seama ca a fost atat de generos pentru ca nu era in toate mintile. Eu nu sunt capabil sa-mi p.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| f0efe72 | Tell me yourself directly, I challenge you - reply: imagine that you yourself are erecting the edifice of human fortune with the goal of, at the finale, making people happy, of at last giving them peace and quiet, but that in order to do it would be necessary and unavoidable to torture to death only one little creature, that same little child that beat its little fist, and on its unavenged tears to found that edifice, would you agree to be .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky |
