Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Al mundo espiritual, la mitad superior del género humano, se le rechaza alegremente, incluso con odio. Sobre todo en estos últimos años, el mundo ha proclamado la libertad. ¿Pero qué significa esta libertad? La esclavitud y el suicidio. Pues se dice: 'Tienes necesidades: satisfácelas. Posees los mismos derechos que los grandes y los ricos. No temas satisfacer tus necesidades. Incluso las puedes aumentar'. Estas son las enseñanzas que se dan ahora. Así interpretan la libertad. ¿Y qué consecuencias tiene este derecho a aumentar las necesidades? En los ricos, la soledad y el suicidio espirituales; en los pobres, la envidia y el crimen, pues se conceden derechos, pero no se indican los medios para satisfacer las necesidades.”

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.
