GREAT QUOTES OF DOSTOEVSKY


“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point 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.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky

“To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky

“What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky

“I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Man only likes to count his troubles; he doesn't calculate his happiness.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky

“The soul is healed by being with children.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky

“I love mankind, he said, "but I find to my amazement that the more I love mankind as a whole, the less I love man in particular.” - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.” - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.” - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
