Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“See oli üks neid kohti, mida oli nüüd siginenud igasuguseid, palga suurusega tuhat kuni viiskümmend tuhat rubla aastas, ja mida oli rohkem kui omal ajal sooje altkäemaksukohti; see oli liikme koht Lõuna-Venemaa Raudteede ja Pangaasutuste Vastastikuse Krediidi Bilansi Ühendatud Agentuuride Komisjonis. See koht nagu kõik säärased kohad nõudis määratu suuri teadmisi ja teovõimet, mida ühes inimeses ühendatuna on raske leida. Kuna inimest, kellel oleksid olnud kõik need omadused, polnud olemas, siis oli igal juhul parem, et selle koha sai ennem aus kui autu inimene.”

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.
