Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Razmišljaše, između ostalog, o tome da je u njegovom epileptičnom stanju postojao jedan stupanj već skoro pred samim napadom (ako bi ga dobijao na javi), kada bi, usred neke tuge, duševnog mraka, pritiska, njegov mozak u trenucima najednom čisto planuo, pa bi se neobično jako naprezale sve njegove životne snage. Osećanje života, samosvesti, skoro bi se udesetostručilo u tim trenucima, koji bi trajali koliko munja. Um i srce bi mu se obasjavali neobičnom svetlošću: sve sumnje njegove, sva bespokojstva, čisto bi se odjednom smirili, prelazli bi u neko najviše spokojstvo puno jasne, harmonične radosti i nade, ispunjeno razumom i shvatanjem najdubljih uzroka.”

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.
