Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“El antiguo dolor se convierte poco a poco, misteriosamente, en una dulce alegría; al ímpetu juvenil sucede la serenidad de la vejez. Bendigo todos los días la salida del sol y mi corazón le canta un himno como antaño: pero prefiero el sol poniente, con sus rayos oblicuos, evocadores de dulces y tiernos recuerdos, de queridas imágenes de mi larga y venturosa vida. Y, por encima de todo, la verdad divina que calma, reconcilia y absuelve.”

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.
