Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“El pasillo estaba oscuro y ellos se habían detenido cerca de la lámpara. Se miraron en silencio. Rasumikhine se acordaría de este momento toda su vida. La mirada ardiente y fija de Raskolnikof parecía cada vez más penetrante, y Rasumikhine tenía la impresión de que le taladraba el alma. De súbito, el estudiante se estremeció. Algo extraño acababa de pasar entre ellos. Fue una idea que se deslizó furtivamente; una idea horrible, atroz y que los dos comprendieron... Rasumikhine se puso pálido como un muerto. ¿Comprendes ahora? preguntó Raskolnikof con una mueca espantosa .”

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.
