Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“De súbito, una extraña y sorprendente sensación de odio hacia Sonia le traspasó el corazón. Asombrado, incluso aterrado de este descubrimiento inaudito, levantó la cabeza y observó atentamente a la joven. Vio que fijaba en él una mirada inquieta y llena de una solicitud dolorosa, y al advertir que aquellos ojos expresaban amor, su odio se desvaneció como un fantasma. Se había equivocado acerca de la naturaleza del sentimiento que experimentaba: lo que sentía era, simplemente, que el momento fatal había llegado.”
― 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.
