Fyodor DostoevskyMuch unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.
Fyodor DostoevskyI almost do not exist now and I know it; God knows what lives in me in place of me.
Fyodor DostoevskyIn sinning, each man sins against all, and each man is at least partly guilt for another's sin. There is no isolated sin.
Fyodor DostoevskyAs soon as any one is near me, his personality disturbs my self-complacency and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he's too long over his dinner; another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I detest men individually the more ardent becomes my love for humanity.
