Fyodor Dostoevsky
“The whole law of human existence consists in nothing other than a man's always being able to bow before the immeasurably great. If people are deprived of the immeasurably great, they will not live and will die in despair. The immeasurable and infinite is as necessary for man as the small planet he inhabits...”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“The enthusiasm of today’s youth is as pure and bright as it was in our time. Only one thing has happened: a shift of goals, the replacement of one beauty with another! The entire misunderstanding lies merely in the question of which is more beautiful: Shakespeare or a pair of boots, Raphael or petroleum?”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons

“The best definition of man is: a being that goes on two legs and is ungrateful.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground
