Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Lo mismo ocurre en algunas plantas dimorfas, como yo mismo lo he observado. Ciertamente, al principio, parece un hecho muy notable que la misma mariposa hembra tenga la facultad de producir al mismo tiempo tres formas distintas femeninas y una masculina, y que una planta hermafrodita produzca por las semillas del mismo fruto tres formas distintas hermafroditas que lleven tres clases diferentes de hembras y tres -o hasta seis- clases diferentes de machos. Sin embargo, estos casos son tan sólo exageraciones del hecho común de que la hembra produzca descendencia de ambos sexos, que a veces difieren entre sí de un modo portentoso.”

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.
