More Quotes from Fyodor Dostoyevsky:
It's always worthwhile speaking to a clever man.Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Do you think it is a vain hope that one day man will find joy in noble deeds of light and mercy, rather than in the coarse pleasures he indulges in today -- gluttony, fornication, ostentation, boasting, and envious vying with his neighbor? I am certain this is not a vain hope and that the day will come soon.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Obedience, fasting, and prayer are laughed at, yet only through them lies the way to real true freedom. I cut off my superfluous and unnecessary desires, I subdue my proud and wanton will and chastise it with obedience, and with God's help I attain freedom of spirit and with it spiritual joy.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Every man looks out for himself, and he has the happiest life who manages to hoodwink himself best of all.
