Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“díganme ustedes qué se puede esperar del hombre, de ese ser dotado de cualidades tan extrañas. Prueben a volcar sobre él todos los bienes de la Tierra; sumérjanlo en la felicidad tan profundamente que sólo se perciban en la superficie algunas burbujas; satisfagan sus necesidades económicas hasta el punto de que sus únicas ocupaciones sean dormir, comer pan de especias y pensar en el modo de prolongar la historia universal...; hagan todo esto, y verán como el hombre, por pura ingratitud, por necesidad de envilecerse, les corresponde cometiendo alguna villanía.”

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.
