Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Quiero viajar por Europa. Sé que sólo encontraré un cementerio, pero qué cementerio tan sugeridor. En él reposan ilustres muertos; cada una de sus losas nos habla de una vida llena de noble ardor, de una fe ciega en el propio ideal, de una lucha por la verdad y la ciencia. Caeré de rodillas ante esas piedras y las besaré llorando, íntimamente convencido de hallarme en un cementerio y nada más que en un cementerio. Mis lágrimas no serán de desesperación, sino de felicidad. Mi propia ternura me embriaga. Adoro los tiernos brotes primaverales y el cielo azul. La inteligencia y la lógica no desempeñan en esto ningún papel. Es el corazón el que ama... es el vientre... Amamos las primeras fuerzas de nuestra juventud...”

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.
