Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Eso es rebelarse -dijo Aliocha con suave acento y la cabeza baja. -¿Rebelarse? Habría preferido no oírte pronunciar esa palabra. ¿Acaso se puede vivir sin rebeldía? Y yo quiero vivir. Respóndeme con franqueza. Si los destinos de la humanidad estuvieren en tus manos, y para hacer definitivamente feliz al hombre, para procurarle al fin la paz y la tranquilidad, fuese necesario torturar a un ser, a uno solo, a esa niña que se golpeaba el pecho con el puñito, a fin de fundar sobre sus lágrimas la felicidad futura, ¿te prestarías a ello? Responde sinceramente. -No, no me prestaría. -Eso significa que no admites que los hombres acepten la felicidad pagada con la sangre de un pequeño mártir.”

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.
