| 500fbb1 | You laugh like a little child, but you think like a martyr. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 50ee460 | What would become of him if the church punished him with her excommunication as the direct consequence of the secular law? There could be no more terrible despair, at least for a Russian criminal, for Russian criminals still have faith. Though, who knows, perhaps then a fearful thing would happen, perhaps the despairing heart of the criminal would lose its faith and then what would become of him? But the church, like a tender, loving mother.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| c3100d4 | For sin is sweet; all abuse it, but all men live in it, only others do it on the sly, and I openly. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| c8b1f97 | We are not particularly afraid,' said he, 'of all these socialists, anarchists, infidels, and revolutionists; we keep watch on them and know all their goings on. But there are a few peculiar men among them who believe in God and are Christians, but at the same time are socialists. Those are the people we are most afraid of. They are dreadful people! The socialist who is a Christian is more to be dreaded than a socialist who is an atheist. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 54bfdec | What terrible tragedies people suffer through realism! | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 6f9ad89 | The stupider one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence wriggles and hides itself. Intelligence is a knave, but stupidity is honest and straightforward. I've | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 249a61e | Young man, be not forgetful of prayer. Every time you pray, if your prayer is sincere, there will be new feeling and new meaning in it, which will give you fresh courage, and you will understand that prayer is an education. Remember, too, every day, and whenever you can, repeat to yourself, "Lord, have mercy on all who appear before thee today." | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| d504096 | Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures, in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| e0ee10c | bestiality, and it all comes from lying continually to others and to himself. A man who lies to himself is often the first to take offense. It sometimes feels very good to take offense, doesn't it? And surely he knows that no one has offended him, and that he himself has invented the offense and told lies just for the beauty of it, that he has exaggerated for the sake of effect, that he has picked on a word and made a mountain out of a pea-.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 6933464 | Look how our young people commit suicide, without asking themselves Hamlet's question what there is beyond, without a sign of such a question, as though all that relates to the soul and to what awaits us beyond the grave had long been erased in their minds and buried under the sands. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| faa063d | Suffering is life. | life suffering | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| f18c1d9 | He was an example of everything that is opposed to civic duty, of the most complete and malignant individualism. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 04312c0 | But Ippolit Kirillovitch was encouraged; he had never been applauded before! He had been all his life unable to get a hearing, and now he suddenly had an opportunity of securing the ear of all Russia. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 2dedd5a | right. For the secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for. Without a stable conception of the object of life, man would not consent to go on living, and would rather destroy himself than remain on earth, though he had bread in abundance. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| b869e94 | Imagine: inside, in the nerves, in the head--that is, these nerves are there in the brain... (damn them!) there are sort of little tails, the little tails of those nerves, and as soon as they begin quivering... that is, you see, I took at something with my eyes and begin quivering, those little tails... and when they quiver, then an image appears... it doesn't appear at once, but an instant, a second, passes... and then something like a mom.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 6d572df | sometime.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. People talk to you a great deal about your education, but some good, sacred memory, preserved from childhood, is perhaps the best education. If a man carries many such memories with him into life, he is safe to the end of his days, and if one has only one good m.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| add8104 | That night the mosquitoes ate us up. I had bites all over my body. Back home I thought mosquitoes never bit black people. Not as much as they bit white people, anyway. Maybe Vietnamese mosquitoes just bit blacks and whites and didn't bite Asians. | bite black mosquito-bite mosquitoes vietnamese white | Walter Dean Myers | |

| 0a2fb23 | I had to wait in the lobby while Rene pretended to find my name on the roster of fighters. "Fools," she said, flipping through the pages. "Is that a description of your team's intelligence or your need to amuse?" "It's our motto." "Hmmm . . ." She pretended to leaf through paperwork. "You like screwing with me, don't you?" She offered me a mordant smile. "Just doing my job properly. Like you told me." She'd keep me waiting for a while. I sh.. | Ilona Andrews | ||

| 1870059 | Raphael leaned forward and lowered his voice. "Have you ever seen a lion hunt a herd?" "No." "They are very single-minded. When a lion stalks a herd, he sneaks in close, lies down, and surveys them to choose his victim. He takes his time. The deer or buffalo have no idea he's near. He finds his prey and then he explodes from his hiding place and grabs it. Even if another, perfectly serviceable animal ends up within his reach, he isn't going.. | Ilona Andrews | ||

| aca23ed | He noticed the hole in the wall. "What the hell happened?" "We redecorated." I kept my voice level. "Where have you been?" "Did they succeed?" "Hell no. Everybody was tired from the hunt and irritable as fuck. They bickered about inheriting the pass, and did their grandstanding, and accused each other of things. Radomil fell asleep.
