Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Tú sabías que al dar un paso, al hacer el menor movimiento para lanzarte, habrías tentado al Señor y perdido la fe en Él. Te habrías estrellado, para regocijo de tu tentador, sobre esta misma tierra que venías a salvar. ¿Pero hay muchos como tú? ¿Puedes tener la más remota sospecha de que los hombres tendrían la entereza necesaria para hacer frente a semejante tentación? ¿Es propio de la naturaleza humana rechazar el milagro y en los momentos críticos de la vida, ante las cuestiones capitales, atenerse al libre impulso del corazón?”

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.
