Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Affermazione di libertà che lo innalzava nella stima di se stesso. Era come l'iniziazione al mondo, l'accesso ai piaceri proibiti. Non le piaceva il mare se non in tempesta, e l'erba se non quando era disseminata tra la rovine. Bisognava che potesse ricavare dalle cose una specie di profitto personale, e respingeva come inutile tutto quello che non contribuiva a riempire il suo cuore: di temperamento più sentimentale che artistico ricercava emozioni e non panorami.”

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.
