“When reason fails, the devil helps!”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

“Through error you come to the truth! I am a man because I err! You never reach any truth without making fourteen mistakes and very likely a hundred and fourteen.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

“That's just the point: an honest and sensitive man opens his heart, and the man of business goes on eating - and then he eats you up.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

“Where is it I've read that someone condemned to death says or thinks, an hour before his death, that if he had to live on some high rock, on such a narrow ledge that he'd only room to stand, and the ocean, everlasting darkness, everlasting solitude, everlasting tempest around him, if he had to remain standing on a square yard of space all his life, a thousand years, eternity, it were better to live so than to die at once. Only to live, to live and live! Life, whatever it may be!”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
