“Apenas la leí, me dije que todos sus deseos se realizarían. Cuando el starets Zósimo muera, tendré que dejar el monasterio. Luego acabaré mis estudios, me examinaré y, cuando tengamos la edad que señala la ley, nos casaremos. La querré mucho. Aunque no he tenido tiempo de pensar en ello, he comprendido que nunca hallaré una esposa mejor que usted.”

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.
