Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Existen, a mi parecer, muchos otros hechos explicables dentro de nuestra teoría. ¡Qué extraño es que un ave, con forma de pájaro carpintero, se alimente de insectos en el suelo; que los gansos de tierra, que rara vez o nunca nadan, tengan los pies palmeados; que un ave parecida al tordo se zambulla y alimente de insectos que viven debajo del agua; que el petrel tenga costumbres y conformación que lo hacen adecuado para el género de vida de un pingüino, y así en un sinfín de casos”

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.
