Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“En países semicivilizados, de comunicación poco libre, la difusión de una nueva sub-raza sería un proceso lentísimo. Tan pronto como los rasgos característicos son conocidos, el principio, como lo he llamado yo, de la selección inconsciente tenderá siempre -quizá más en un período que en otro, según que la raza esté más o menos de moda; quizá más en una comarca que en otra, según el estado de civilización de los habitantes- a aumentar lentamente los rasgos característicos de la raza, cualesquiera que sean éstos.”

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.
