Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“—¡El pan! —exclamó de pronto, aterrado—. ¡Nos hemos olvidado del pan! Pero los niños le recordaron que antes de salir de su casa había cogido un trozo de pan y se lo había guardado en el bolsillo. El capitán lo sacó y se tranquilizó al verlo. —Es un deseo de Iliucha —explicó a Aliocha—. Una noche que estaba al lado de su cama, velándolo, me dijo de pronto: «Papá, cuando me entierren, echa migas de pan sobre mi sepultura. Así acudirán los gorriones, yo los oiré y será un consuelo para mi saber que no estoy solo.» —”

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.
