One day is enough for a man to know all happiness. My dear ones, why do we quarrel, try to outshine each other and keep grudges against each other? Let's go straight into the garden, walk and play there, love, appreciate each other and glorify life.
("The Brothers Karamazov")
More Quotes from Fyodor Dostoyevsky:
Father monks, why do you fast! Why do you expect reward in heaven for that?...No, saintly monk, you try being virtuous in the world, do good to society, without shutting yourself up in a monastery at other people's expense, and without expecting a reward up aloft for it--you'll find that a bit harder.Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky
