Inspirational Quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“The more conscious I was of goodness and of all that was 'sublime and beautiful,'the more deeply I sank into my mire and the more ready I was to sink in it altogether.”
“For a woman, all resurrection, all salvation, from whatever perdition, lies in love; in fact, it is her only way to it.”
“آیا هیچ میدانید که اگر شما گیوتین را به جلو صحنه آوردهاید و آن را با این شادمانی و افتخار برافراشته و به آسمان رساندهاید فقط برای این است که بریدن سر از همه کار آسانتر است ...و پروردن اندیشه در سر از همه کار دشوارتر”
“Filled with rapture, his soul yearned for freedom, space, vastness. Over him the heavenly dome, full of quiet, shining stars, hung boundlessly. From the zenith to the horizon the still-dim Milky Way stretched its double strand. Night, fresh and quiet, almost unstirring, enveloped the earth. The white towers and golden domes of the church gleamed in the sapphire sky. The luxuriant autumn asleep till morning. The silence of the earth seemed to merge with the silence of the heavens and the mystery of the earth touched the mystery of the stars.”
“I ask one thing: I ask the right to hope and suffer as I do now." Vronsky”
“Can a man of perception respect himself at all?”
“Faith does not, in the realist, spring from the miracle but the miracle from the faith.”
“And if there's love, you can do without happiness too. Even with sorrow, life is sweet. ”
“يقولون الآن إنني ضللت الطريق, وما دُمت فعلتُ فإلي أين سأصل؟ وهذه حقيقةٌ لا غبار عليها: لقد ضللتٌ وقد تسوءٌ الأمور أكثر في المستقبل. ولاشكَ أنني سأضيعٌ أكثر من مَرّة قبل أن أهتدي إلي سواء السبيل.”
“I do not wish you much happiness--it would bore you; I do not wish you trouble either; but, following the people's philosophy, I will simply repeat: 'Live more' and try somehow not to be too bored; this useless wish I am adding on my own.”

“Leave us alone without books and we shall be lost and in confusion at once. We shall not know what to join on to, what to cling to, what to love and what to hate, what to respect and what to despise. We are oppressed at being men -- men with a real individual body and blood, we are ashamed of it, we think it a disgrace and try to contrive to be some sort of impossible generalised man. We are stillborn, and for generations past have been begotten, not by living fathers, and that suits us better and better. We are developing a taste for it. Soon we shall contrive to be born somehow from an idea. But enough; I don't want to write more from "Underground.”
“ليتني أستطيع أن أسافر على الفور، أن أُبعث بعثا جديدا، أن أحيا حياة جديدة.”
“إنني أحب الإنسانية، غير أن هناك شيئا في نفسي يدهشني: كلما ازداد حبي للإنسانية جملة واحدة، نقص حبي للبشر أفرادا”

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.
