More Quotes from Fyodor Dostoyevsky:
I just said it for the beauty of the style.Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices, all from continual lying to other men and to himself.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Stupidity is honest and straightforward.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything, that only a fool can become something.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky
