Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Ya ves el resultado de haber defendido esta libertad Te lo repito: no hay para el hombre deseo más acuciante que el de encontrar a un ser en quien delegar el don de la libertad que, por desgracia, se adquiere con el nacimiento. Mas para disponer de la libertad de los hombres hay que darles la tranquilidad de conciencia. El pan te aseguraba el éxito: el hombre se inclina ante quien se lo da (de esto no cabe duda); pero si otro se adueña de su conciencia, el hombre desdeñará incluso tu pan para seguir al que ha cautivado su razón.”

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.
