Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“IV El retrato La Enfermedad y la Muerte producen cenizas De todo el fuego que por nosotros arde. De aquellos grandes ojos tan fervientes y tan tiernos, De aquella boca en la que mi corazón se ahogó, De aquellos besos pujantes cual un dictamen, De aquellos transportes más vivos que los rayos, ¿Qué resta? ¡Es horrendo! ¡oh, mi alma mía! Nada más que un diseño muy pálido, con tres trazos, Que, como yo, muere en la soledad, Y que el Tiempo, injurioso anciano, Cada día frota con su ala ruda… Negro asesino de la Vida y del Arte, ¡Tú no matarás jamás en mi memoria Aquella que fue mi placer y mi gloria!”

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.
