| f08f5aa | Your money or your life! | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 2e05c47 | Let me tell you, novice, that the absurd is only too necessary on earth. The world stands on absurdities, and perhaps nothing would have come to pass in it without them. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 820cfe3 | The old grief of the great mystery of human life gradually passes into a quiet, tender joy; in place of the boiling blood of youth there comes a meek serene old age: I bless the daily rising of the sun, and my heart sings to it as it did of old, but now I am more enamored of its setting, its long, oblique rays, and the quiet, gentle, tender memories that accompany them, the dear images from the whole of a long and blessed life--and above it.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 565ca30 | The silence of earth seemed to melt into the silence of the heavens. The mystery of earth was one with the mystery of the stars ... | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 90d2233 | Cosi sentivo diventare comprensibile per me la strana ostinazione di quel cuore casto, che si chiudeva per un certo tempo, opponendo al proprio desiderio di sfogarsi la maggior rigidezza, fino al momento dell'inevitabile slancio in cui tutto l'essere si concede, fino alla dimenticanza di se stesso, a questo umano bisogno d'affetto, di espansione, di carezza e di lacrime... | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 3ecca41 | Resulta curioso y ridiculo lo mucho que a veces puede expresar la mirada de un hombre vergonzoso, morbosamente pudico, tocado por el amor, precisamente cuando este hombre preferiria que la tierra se abriera bajo sus pies antes de decir nada o de darlo a entender con la palabra o con los ojos. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| eeb0b58 | Oh! in his rapture he was weeping even over those stars, which were shining to him from the abyss of space, and "he was not ashamed of that ecstasy." There seemed to be threads from all those innumerable worlds of God, linking his soul to them, and it was trembling all over "in contact with other worlds." He longed to forgive everyone and for everything, and to beg forgiveness. Oh, not for himself, but for all men, for all and for everythin.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 47054de | I remember being told of a poor wretch I once knew, who had died of hunger. I was almost beside myself with rage! I believe if I could have resuscitated him I would have done so for the sole purpose of murdering him! | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 5ece72a | Direi que acabe o mundo mas que eu sempre possa tomar o meu cha. | fim-do-mundo | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| d89c0d6 | ALEXEY Fyodorovitch Karamazov was the third son of Fyodor Pavlovitch Karamazov, a landowner well known in our district in his own day, and still remembered among us owing to his gloomy and tragic death, which happened thirteen years ago, and which I shall describe in its proper place. For the present I will only say that this "landowner"- for so we used to call him, although he hardly spent a day of his life on his own estate- was a strange.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| a8260d8 | You must know that there is nothing higher and stronger and more wholesome and good for life in the future than some good memory, especially a memory of childhood, of home. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 4e4acfb | But how did I murder her? Is that how men do murders? Do men go to commit a murder as I went then? I will tell you some day how I went! Did I murder the old woman? I murdered myself, not her! I crushed myself once for all, for ever.... But it was the devil that killed that old woman, not I. Enough, enough, Sonia, enough! Let me be! | murder punishment raskolnikov sonia | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 2e27734 | Education has nothing whatever to do with moral deterioration; and if one must admit that it develops a resolute spirit among the people, that is far from being a defect. | morality | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| dca7821 | He wasn't thinking about anything. There was just the odd random thought or scrap of thought, or the odd image without rhyme or reason: faces seen by him back in his childhood or people he'd seen only once and would never have recalled again; the bell tower of V______ Church; a billiard table in a tavern and some officer standing next to it; the smell of cigars in some basement tobacco shop; a drinking den; a back staircase, pitch dark, soa.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| f6a530d | If you can show a person logical proof that essentianlly he's got nothing to cry about, he'll stop crying. That seems clear. Don't you think he'd stop crying?' "That would make life too easy," Raskolnikov replied." | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 70af96d | Raskolnikov sat in silence, listening with disgust. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| f583405 | He was one of the numerous and varied legion of dullards, of half-animate abortions, conceited, half-educated coxcombs, who attach themselves to the idea most in fashion only to vulgarise it and who caricature every cause they serve, however sincerely. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 7186d74 | Who could say that human nature can endure such a trial without slipping into madness? Why this ghastly, needless outrage? Perhaps there is a man to whom the death sentence was read and who was allowed to suffer and then told, 'Go, You are pardoned.' Perhaps such a man could tell us something. This was the agony and the horror of which Christ told too. No, you cannot treat a man like that. ...Think! When there is torture there is pain and w.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 0779c05 | Moral obliquity and consequently lack of good sense; for it has long been accepted that lack of good sense is due to no other cause than moral obliquity. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| d8ed6d0 | Brothers, love is a teacher; but one must know how to acquire it, for it is hard to acquire, it is dearly bought, it is won slowly by long labour. For we must love not only occasionally, for a moment, but for ever. Every one can love occasionally, even the wicked can. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 3ef9698 | I could not even imagine any place of secondary importance for myself, and for that very reason I quite contentedly occupied the most insignificant one in real life. Either a hero or dirt - there was no middle way. That turned out to be my undoing, for while wallowing in dirt I consoled myself with the thought that at other times I was a hero, and the hero overlaid the dirt: an ordinary mortal, as it were, was ashamed to wallow in dirt, but.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 6335330 | What's going on there I don't understand and have never understood: either she loves you beyond all bounds, or... if she loves you, then why does she want to get you married to someone else? She says: "I want to see him happy" - that means she loves you." -- | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 5f02187 | Whoever infringes upon individual 'charity,'" I began, "infringes upon man's nature and scorns his personal dignity. But the organizing of 'social charity' and the question of personal freedom are two different questions and are not mutually exclusive. Individual goodness will always abide, because it is a personal need, a living need for the direct influence of one person on another. ... In sowing your seed, in sowing your 'charity,' your.. | goodness | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |

| b1557c6 | If he noticed a female convict with a baby in her arms, he would approach, fondle the baby and snap his fingers at it to make it laugh. These things he did for many years, right up to his death; eventually he was famous all over Russia and all over Siberia, among the criminals, that is. One man who had been in Siberia told me that he himself had witnessed how the most hardened criminals remembered the general, and yet the general, when he v.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 72d38a6 | Beside himself with shame and despair, the utterly ruined though perfectly just Mr. Golyadkin dashed headlong away, wherever fate might lead him; but with every step he took, with every thud of his foot on the granite of the pavement, there leapt up as though out of the earth a Mr. Golyadkin precisely the same, perfectly alike, and of a revolting depravity of heart. And all these precisely similar Golyadkins set to running after one another.. | double dream schizophrenia | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
