“In my opinion, the one who's smarter than all the rest is the one who calls himself a fool at least once a month - an unheard of talent nowadays! Before, a fool knew once a year at the very least that he was a fool, but now nothing doing.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Bobok

“Love believes all things," for to believe all things means
precisely, even though love is not apparent, even though the opposite is seen, to presuppose that love is nevertheless present fundamentally, even in the misguided, even in the corrupt, even in the hateful.”
― Soren Kierkegaard, Works of Love

“I don't like it when people with only a general education rush in to solve problems best left to specialists; and that happens all the time among us.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevski

“But man is a frivolous and incongruous creature, and perhaps, like a chess player, loves the process of the game, not the end of it. And who knows (there is no saying with certainty), perhaps the only goal on earth to which mankind is striving lies in this incessant process of attaining, in other words, in life itself, and not in the thing to be attained, which must always be expressed as a formula, as positive as twice two makes four, and such positiveness is not life, gentlemen, but is the beginning of death.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground
