Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“comprende con la recordación el tiempo pasado, aprovechándose del presente, y dispone el futuro; con lo cual, la unión de todos los tiempos hace que sea larga su vida; siendo muy corta y llena de congojas la de aquellos que se olvidan de lo pasado, no cuidan de lo presente y temen lo futuro, y cuando llegan a sus postrimerías, conocen tarde los desdichados que estuvieron ocupados mucho tiempo en hacer lo que en sí es nada.”

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.
