Dostoyevsky

  1. We are stillborn, and for a long time we have been begotten not by living fathers, and that's just what we seem to like more and more
  2. To care only for well-being seems to me positively ill-bred. Whether it's good or bad, it is sometimes very pleasant, too, to smash things.
  3. Taking a new step, uttering a new word is what people fear most
  4. A just cause is not ruined by a few mistakes
  5. There is no virtue if there is no immortality
  6. The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.
  7. He read some book in that extremely tiny English print, which only the English can stand and whose convenience they even praise...
  8. Realists do not fear the results of their study.
  9. Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare
  10. One can know a man from his laugh, and if you like a man's laugh before you know anything of him, you may confidently say he is a good man
  11. The awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and the devil are fighting and the battlefield is the heart of man.
  12. In sowing your seed, your good deed in whatever form it takes, you give away part of your person and receive into yourself part of another's
  13. The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness
  14. The second half of a man's life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half.
  15. The cleverest of all, in my opinion, is the man who calls himself a fool at least once a month.
  16. If we are to give everything its due, then twice-two-makes-five is sometimes a most charming little thing, too.
  17. If, as you are going to sleep at night, you remember: "I did not do what I ought to have done," arise at once and do it.
  18. Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.
