Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Que tu actividad sea continua. Si por la noche, antes de dormirte, te acuerdas de que has dejado de cumplir algún deber, levántate en el acto y cúmplelo. Si los que te rodean se niegan a escucharte, por malicia o por indiferencia, arrodíllate y pídeles perdón, pues en realidad tuya es la culpa de que no quieran escucharte. Si se niegan a oírte los irascibles, sírvelos en silencio y humildemente, sin perder jamás la esperanza. Si todos se apartan de ti y algunos te rechazan con violencia, permanece solo, arrodíllate, besa la tierra, riégala con tus lágrimas, aunque nadie te vea ni te oiga. Estas lágrimas darán fruto.”

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.
