Fyodor Dostoevsky
Great Russian writer
"To love someone means to see them as God intended them"
How much evil can be removed by frankness!
If you want to be respected, first and foremost, respect yourself.
You can do anything in our strange Russia.
Silence is a great talent.
If you want to beat the world, beat yourself.
A man is unhappy because he does not know that he is happy; just because. That’s all, that’s all! Whoever finds out will be happy now, this very minute.
Scoundrels like honest people.
It happens so that you live and you do not know that there is a book at your side where your whole life is laid out like on the fingers. And what you yourself did not know before, but here, as you start reading in such a book, you will little by little remember, and you will find out and solve everything.
All things are bought with love, all things are saved… Love is such a priceless treasure that you can buy the whole world with it, and not only your own, but also other people’s sins can be redeemed.
For example, it is easy for a limited “ordinary” person to imagine that he or she is extraordinary and original, and to revel in that without any hesitation.
