Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Hay que hacerse indiferente; no debe preguntarse si la verdad favorece o perjudica al hombre. Hay que tener una fuerza de predilección para las cuestiones que ahora espantan a todos; poseer el valor de las cosas prohibidas: es preciso estar predestinado al laberinto. De esas soledades hay que hacer una experiencia. Tener nuevos oídos para una nueva música; nuevos ojos para las cosas más lejanas: nueva conciencia para verdades hasta ahora mudas, y la voluntad de la economía en grande estilo; conservar las propias fuerzas y el propio entusiasmo; hay que respetarse a sí mismo, amarse a sí mismo: absoluta libertad para consigo mismo…”

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.
