Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Pero yo, que comprendo esta comedia, deseo desaparecer. 'No -me replican-; es necesario que vivas, pues sin ti nada existiría. Si todo fuera buen juicio en la tierra, no pasaría nada. Sin tu intervención no se producirían acontecimientos, y los acontecimientos son necesarios'. Por eso, aun contra mi voluntad, cumplí mi misión de producir acontecimientos, y obedezco la orden de ir contra la razón. La gente toma esta comedia en serio, a pesar de su evidente humorismo. Para la gente es una tragedia. El sufrimiento de esos seres es indudable. En compensación, viven una vida real, no imaginaria, pues el sufrimiento es la vida. ¿Qué placer podría ofrecernos la vida si el sufrimiento no existiera? Parecería un tedeum interminable.”

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.
