Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Voi adauga totuşi că în orice idee omenească genială ori nouă, sau, pur şi simplu, chiar în orice idee cît de cît serioasă ce încolţeşte în capul unui om, există ceva care nu se poate comunica altuia chiar dacă ai scrie volume întregi, străduindu-te să explici această idee vreme de treizeci şi cinci de ani; întotdeauna va rămîne ceva netransmisibil, ceva care în ciuda străduinţelor tale nu va voi să iasă din cutia ta craniană şi va zăcea acolo mereu, pînă cînd nu vei mai fi, fără să fi exprimat sensul major al ideii tale.”

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.
