Fyodor Dostoevsky
“And what's strange, what would be marvelous, is not that God should really exist; the marvel is that such an idea, the idea of the necessity of God, could enter the head of such a savage, vicious beast as man.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Alexis de Tocqueville
“Slavery...dishonors labor. It introduces idleness into society, and with idleness, ignorance and pride, luxury and distress. It enervates the powers of the mind and benumbs the activity of man.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Compassion is the chief law of human existence.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Only to live, to live and live! Life, whatever it may be!”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Love all God’s creation, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf, every ray of light. Love the animals, love the plants, love each separate thing. If thou love each thing thou wilt perceive the mystery of God in all; and when once thou perceive this, thou wilt thenceforward grow every day to a fuller understanding of it: until thou come at last to love the whole world with a love that will then be all-embracing and universal.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
