    I wish i was present at his time so i had a one on one convo with Dostoevsky... He was so full of wisdom and psychology.

    The human nature was known and understood by Dostoyevsky as no one; the psyche of man was outstanding.

Quotes

  • rosellebautista04has quoted2 days ago
    The consciousness of life is higher than life, the knowledge of the laws of happiness is higher than happiness — that is what one must contend against.
  • rosellebautista04has quoted2 days ago
    I am told that I am vague and confused, and if I am vague and confused now, what shall I be later on? It is true indeed: I am vague and confused, and perhaps as time goes on I shall be more so
  • rosellebautista04has quoted2 days ago
    that this joy and glory had come to me on our earth in the form of a yearning melancholy that at times approached insufferable sorrow; that I had had a foreknowledge of them all and of their glory in the dreams of my heart and the visions of my mind; that often on our earth I could not look at the setting sun without tears… that in my hatred for the men of our earth there was always a yearning anguish: why could I not hate them without loving them? why could I not help forgiving them? and in my love for them there was a yearning grief: why could I not love them without hating them?
