Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“– Je me sens beaucoup mieux aujourd’hui, mais je sais que ce n’est pas pour longtemps. Je connais maintenant à fond ma maladie. Si je vous semble si gai, rien ne peut me faire plus de plaisir que de vous l’entendre dire. Car le bonheur est la fin de l’homme, et celui qui a été parfaitement heureux a le droit de se dire : « J’ai accompli la loi divine sur cette terre. » Les justes, les saints, les martyrs ont tous été heureux.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky ,
from Les Frères Karamazov

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.
