Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Por una especia de decreto incomprensible, tengo la misión de negar. Sin embargo, soy bueno e inepto para la negación. Me dicen: 'Es preciso que niegues. Sin negación no hay crítica y, ¿qué sería de las revistas sin la crítica? Sólo quedaría de ellas un hosanna. Pero en la vida esto no es suficiente; es necesario que este hosanna pase por el crisol de la duda, etc., etc.' Por otra parte, yo no tengo ninguna responsabilidad en todo esto; yo no he inventado la crítica. Fui un simple emisario; se me obligó a hacer la crítica, y la vida empezó entonces.”

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.
