Bad people are to be found everywhere, but even among the worst there may be something good.
Fyodor DostoevskyThere are things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind.
Fyodor DostoevskyFather monks, why do you fast! Why do you expect reward in heaven for that?...No, saintly monk, you try being virtuous in the world, do good to society, without shutting yourself up in a monastery at other people's expense, and without expecting a reward up aloft for it--you'll find that a bit harder.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
