Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Aceste studii nu parvenira vreodata sa vada lumina zilei. In schimb el putu in tot restul vietii, adica timp de peste douazeci de ani, sa se ridice 'ca o intruchipare a reprosului' in fata patriei, dupa expresia poetului": Ca o intruchipare a reprosului .... Stateai in fata patriei Tu, liberal-idealist. Personajul vizat de poet avea poate dreptul sa pastreze toata viata, daca asa voia, aceasta poza, altfel foarte plictisitoare. Dar Stephan Tromfimovici al nostru nu era decat un biet imitator in comparatie cu astfel de persoane. De atfel, il si obosea statul prelungit in picioare, si-i cam placea ades sa zaca tolanit pe divan sau canapea. Ca sa fim totusi drepti, intruchiparea reprosului continua sa subziste chiar si in pozitia aceasta orizontala, mai ales pentru provincie era prea de-ajuns si atat.”

Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky was a Russian writer, essayist and philosopher, perhaps most recognized today for his novels Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov.
Dostoyevsky's literary output explores human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society. Considered by many as a founder or precursor of 20th-century existentialism, his Notes from Underground (1864), written in the embittered voice of the anonymous "underground man", was called by Walter Kaufmann the "best overture for existentialism ever written."
His tombstone reads "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." from John 12:24, which is also the epigraph of his final novel, The Brothers Karamazov.
