Inspirational Quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Un Sergejs Ivanovičs nostādīja viņu dilemmas priekšā: vai nu tu esi tik neattīstīts, ka nespēj saskatīt visu to, ko tu varētu darīt, vai arī negribi ziedot savu mieru, godkāri un nezin ko vēl, lai to paveiktu.”
“- The aim of civilization is to enable us to get enjoyment out of everything. - Well, if that is its aim, I'd rather be a savage.”
“Dragostea... Nu-mi place cuvântul ăsta, tocmai fiindcă are pentru mine o însemnătate prea mare, neîinchipuit mai mare decît ai putea înțelege dumneata.”
“Ella si sentiva talmente criminosa e colpevole, che non le rimaneva se non umiliarsi e domandar perdono; e nella vita adesso, all'infuori di lui, ella non aveva nessuno, così che rivolgeva appunto a lui la sua preghiera d'esser perdonata. Ella, guardandolo, sentiva fisicamente la propria umiliazione e non poteva più dir nulla. Egli invece sentiva quel che deve sentire un assassino quando vede il corpo privato della vita da lui. Questo coro privato della vita da lui era il loro amore, il primo periodo del loro amore. C'era qualcosa di orribile e di ripugnante nei ricordi di quello per cui era stato pagato questo orribile prezzo di vergogna. La vergogna dinanzi alla propria nudità spirituale la soffocava e si comunicava a lui. Ma, malgrado tutto l'orrore dell'assassino dinanzi al corpo dell'assassinato, bisogna tagliare a pezzi, nascondere questo corpo, bisogna approfittare di quel che l'assassino ha acquistato con l'assassinio.”

“The liberal party said, or rather allowed it to be understood, that religion is only a curb to keep in check the barbarous classes of the people; and Stepan Arkadyevitch could not get through even a short service without his legs aching from standing up, and could never make out what was the object of all the terrible and high-flown language about another world when life might be so very amusing in this world.”
“And the most awful thing about it is that it’s all my fault—all my fault, though I’m not to blame.”
“Dar cum sa vorbesti despre un rau care nu poate fi descris,care isi schimba infatisarea ca norii, care se involbureaza ca vantul?”
“Before marriage she thought hserself in love; but the happiness that should have followed this love not having come, she must, she thought, have been mistaken. And Emma tried to find out what one meant exactly in life by the words felicity, passion, rapture, that had seemed to her so beautiful in books.”

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.
