Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Las apariciones son algo así como fragmentos de otros mundos..., sus ambiciones. Un hombre sano no tiene motivo alguno para verlas, ya que es, ante todo, un hombre terrestre, es decir, material. Por lo tanto, sólo debe vivir para participar en el orden de la vida de aquí abajo. Pero, apenas se pone enfermo, apenas empieza a alterarse el orden normal, terrestre, de su organismo, la posible acción de otro mundo comienza a manifestarse en él, y a medida que se agrava su enfermedad, las relaciones con ese otro mundo se van estrechando, progresión que continúa hasta que la muerte le permite entrar de lleno en él. Si usted cree en una vida futura, nada le impide admitir este razonamiento.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky ,

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.
