| cb28068 | Asil uzucu olan, ayni evde oturan varlikli adamin kulagina hic kimsenin "yalniz kendinizi dusunmeniz yeter artik," diye fisildamamasidir. "Ayakkabici degilsin sen, cocuklarinin sagligi yerinde, karin bir lokma ekmek icin dilenmiyor. Soyle bir cevrene bak, kundurani dusunmekten daha insanca bir ugras bulamaz misin kendine!" | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| b82cefa | Still I know that I am a million times more worthless in my soul than she is, and that her lofty feelings--are as sincere as a heavenly angel's! That's the tragedy, that I know it for certain. What's wrong with declaiming a little? Am I not declaiming? But I am sincere, I really am sincere. As for Ivan, I can understand with what a curse he must look at nature now, and with his intelligence, too! To whom, to what has the preference been giv.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| a35c16a | Paper, they say, does not blush, but I assure you that it's not true and that it's blushing now just as I am blushing all over. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| c97e16c | A few days earlier, in front of his guests at his own birthday celebration, this man had started smashing his own crockery and tearing his and his wife's clothes, because he was not offered enough vodka; then he went on to break every stick of furniture in his house and smash all the windows, and he did it all for the "beauty" of the gesture, as Mr. Karamazov had just now." | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| d90fd06 | Such a gentleman simply dashes straight for his object like an infuriated bull with its horns down, and nothing but a wall will stop him. (By the way: facing the wall, such gentlemen--that is, the "direct" persons and men of action--are genuinely nonplussed. For them a wall is not an evasion, as for us people who think and consequently do nothing; it is not an excuse for turning aside, an excuse for which we are always very glad, though we .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 4d7e26b | These educated parents subjected the poor five-year old girl to every possible torture. They beat her, flogged her, kicked her, not knowing why themselves, until her whole body was nothing but bruises; finally they attained the height of finesse: in the freezing cold, they locked her all night in the outhouse, because she wouldn't ask to get up and go in the middle of the night (as if a five-year-old child sleeping its sound angelic sleep c.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 37e8a5d | Once upon a time there was a woman, and she was wicked as wicked could be, and she died. And not one good deed was left behind her. The devils took her and threw her into the lake of fire. And her guardian angel stood thinking: what good deed of hers can I remember to tell God? Then he remembered and said to God: once she pulled up an onion and gave it to a beggar woman. And God answered: take now that same onion, hold it out to her in the .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 2ed3d3e | Oh, we can also be good and beautiful, but only when we are feeling good and beautiful ourselves. We are, on the contrary, even possessed--precisely possessed--by the noblest ideals, but only on condition that they be attained by themselves, that they fall on our plate from the sky, and, above all, gratuitously, gratuitously, so that we need pay nothing for them. We like very much to get things, but terribly dislike having to pay for them, .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 1a39b62 | Oh, Karamazov, I am deeply unhappy. I sometimes imagine God only knows what, that everyone is laughing at me, the entire world, and at such moments, at such moments I am quiet simply ready to annihilate the entire order of things. | karamazov kolya | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 5c89ff5 | What is the mother of God? What do you think?' 'The great mother,' I answer, 'the hope of the human race.' 'Yes,' she answered, 'the mother of God is the great mother--the damp earth, and therein lies great joy for men. And every earthly woe and every earthly tear is a joy for us; and when you water the earth with your tears a foot deep, you will rejoice at everything at once, and your sorrow will be no more, such is the prophecy.' That | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| af71346 | There is nothing in the world more difficult than candor, and nothing easier than flattery. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 1014171 | Everything, even his crime, his sentence and imprisonment, seemed to him now in the first rush of feeling an external, strange fact with which he had no concern. But he could not think for long together of anything that evening, and he could not have analysed anything consciously; he was simply feeling. Life had stepped into the place of theory and something quite different would work itself out in his mind. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 3616f9f | Nothing in the world is harder than speaking the truth and nothing easier than flattery.If there's the hundredth part of a false note in speaking the truth, it leads to a discord, and that leads to trouble.But if all, to the last note, is false in flattery, it is just as agreeable, and is heard not without satisfaction. It may be a coarse satisfaction, but still a satisfaction. And however coarse the flattery, at least half will be sure to .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 0e0abb4 | This soldier had been taken prisoner in some remote part of Asia, and was threatened with an immediate agonising death if he did not renounce Christianity and follow Islam. He refused to deny his faith, and was tortured, flayed alive, and died, praising and glorifying Christ. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 935dba4 | Why, I certainly won't leave you, Stepan Trofimovich, I'll never leave you, sir!' She seized his hands and clasped them in hers, and pressed them to her heart as she looked at him with tears in her eyes. ('I became very sorry for him at that moment,' she told us later.) His lips began to tremble, almost convulsively. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

All this kind of thing is so easily erased from the minds of women; you don't know women yet! Besides, it's to her full advantage to marry you because she's the one who's disgraced herself; and besides, I was the one who gave her all that stuff about the "barque": I saw right away tha.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| f807e3c | Brother, I'm not depressed and haven't lost spirit. Life everywhere is life, life is in ourselves and not in the external. There will be people near me, and to be a human being among human beings, and remain one forever, no matter what misfortunes befall, not to become depressed, and not to falter--this is what life is, herein lies its task. I have come to recognize this. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

I will give my full opinion beforehand: he was simply an early lover of mankind,1 and if he threw himself into the monastery path, it was only because it alone struck him at the time and presented him, so to speak, with an ideal way out for his soul struggling from the darkness of worldly wickedness towards the light of love. And this path struck him only.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 7f50e7c | The whole point of my article is that in ancient times, during its first three centuries, Christianity was revealed on earth only by the Church, and was only the Church. But when the pagan Roman state desired to become Christian, it inevitably so happened that, having become Christian, it merely included the Church in itself, but itself continued to be, as before, a pagan state in a great many of its functions. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 012afd3 | No doubt it is devastating. One cannot prove anything here, but it is possible to be convinced." "How? By what?" "By the experience of active love. Try to love your neighbors actively and tirelessly. The more you succeed in loving, the more you'll be convinced of the existence of God and the immortality of your soul. And if you reach complete selflessness in the love of your neighbor, then undoubtedly you will believe, and no doubt will eve.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 9d40691 | It's true that he would come to himself at once, and yet, if he were asked what he had been thinking about while standing there, he would most likely not remember, but would most likely keep hidden away in himself the impression he had been under while contemplating. These impressions are dear to him, and he is most likely storing them up imperceptibly and even without realizing it--why and what for, of course, he does not know either; perh.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

And avoid contempt, both of others and of yourself: what seems bad to you in yourself is purified by the very fact that you have noticed it in yourself. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| a86ae53 | Erkel's fate will be lightened. From the moment of his arrest he either maintained silence or did his best to pervert the truth. Not one word of repentance has been extracted from him so far. And yet even in the most severe judges he has awakened a certain sympathy for himself | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
