Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Egli non poteva ingannare. Unici al mondo erano quegli occhi. Solo uno era al mondo l'essere capace di concentrare per lui tutta la luce e il significato della vita. Era lei. [...] Soltanto là, in quella carrozza che si allontanava rapidamente ed era passata dall'altra parte della strada, soltanto là c'era la possibilità della risoluzione di quell'enigma della sua vita che lo opprimeva così tormentosamente negli ultimi tempi. [...] "No," egli si disse "per quanto sia bella questa vita, semplice e laboriosa, io non posso tornarci. Io amo lei.”

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.
