Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“-Hay momentos en que el hombre se siente atraído hacia el crimen -dijo Aliocha, pensativo. -Cierto; yo pienso como usted. Todo el mundo se siente inclinado al crimen, pero no sólo en algunos momentos, sino siempre. A mí me parece que debió de celebrarse alguna vez una asamblea general para tratar de este asunto, y se llegó al acuerdo de mentir. Desde entonces todos mienten: dicen que odian el mal, y lo quieren en sí mismos.”

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.
