Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“dar uite, ce spuneti: cum sa deosebim aceste persoane neobisnuite de cele obisnuite? au oare de la nastere un semn distinctiv? spun in sensul ca ar trebui sa fie o mai mare exactitate, o mai mare diferentiere exterioara; va rog sa-mi iertati nelinistea fireasca a unui om mai practic si bine intentionat, dar n-am putea oare sa le dam niste haine anume, de exemplu, sa poarte un fel de insemne acolo, nu?... Pentru ca, va rog sa fiti de acord, daca se va intampla o incurcatura si unul dintr-o categorie isi va imagina ca face parte din cealalta si va incepe sa "indeparteze toate obstacolele"....”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky ,
from Crime and Punishment

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.
