“La economía política añade que cuanto más se elevan las fortunas privadas en una sociedad o, dicho en otros términos, más capas enteras se ven, más sólida es su base y mejor su organización. Por lo tanto, trabajando para mí solo, trabajo, en realidad, para todo el mundo, pues contribuyo a que mi prójimo reciba algo más que la mitad de mi capa, y no por un acto de generosidad individual y privada, sino a consecuencia del progreso general. La idea no puede ser más sencilla. No”

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.
