Paradise is hidden in each one of use, it is concealed within me too, right now, and if I wish, it will come for me in reality, tomorrow even, and for the rest of my life. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Now I'm living out my life in a corner, trying to console myself with the stupid, useless excuse that an intelligent man cannot turn himself into anything, that only a fool can make anything he wants out of himself. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Perhaps," you will add, grinning, "those who have never been slapped will also not understand" - thereby politely hinting that I, too, may have experienced a slap in my life, and am therefore speaking as a connoisseur. Fyodor Dostoevsky
But instead of delight his soul was filled with such gloom, and his heart ached with such anguish, as he had never known in his life before... "I am base" he whispered to himself. Fyodor Dostoevsky

But what's to be done if the sole and express purpose of every intelligent man is babble--that is, a deliberate pouring from empty into void. Fyodor Dostoevsky

We have all lost touch with life, we all limp, each to a greater or lesser degree. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Only to live, to live and live! Life, whatever it may be!"
Only to live, to live and live! Life, whatever it may be! Fyodor Dostoevsky
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Reality is infinitely diverse. It resists classification,..."
Reality is infinitely diverse. It resists classification, inward life. Peculiar to us...not simply the official existence. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Don’t be overwise; fling yourself straight into life, without deliberation; don’t be afraid - the flood will bear you to the bank and set you safe on your feet again. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Perhaps I really regard myself as an intelligent man only because throughout my entire life I've never been able to start or finish anything. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "They understood nothing, none of life's realities, and, I..."
They understood nothing, none of life's realities, and, I swear to you, this was what made me most indignant. Fyodor Dostoevsky
It must be true that the whole second half of a man's life is most often made up only of habits accumulated during the first half. Fyodor Dostoevsky
