Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Eu estava ali parado diante dela, deprimido, esmagado, vergonhosamente atrapalhado, e parece-me que sorria, tentando com todas as forças tapar-me com as abas do meu roupão de algodão, hirsuto, rapado - exatamente como pouco antes, desanimado, me imaginava. (...) Que mais queres tu? Porque é que tu, depois de tudo isto, estás ainda aí à minha frente, porque é que me torturas, porque não te vais embora? (...) E o que aconteceu foi o seguinte: Liza, ofendida e esmagada por mim, compreendeu muito mais do que uma mulher sempre compreende em primeiro lugar se ama sinceramente, a saber: que eu próprio era infeliz.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky ,

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.
