I looked at her for three seconds, or five perhaps, with fearful hatred-that hate which is only a hair's-breath from love, from the maddest love!
Fyodor DostoevskyStichwörter: hatred
One can love one's neighbours in the abstract, or even at a distance, but at close quarters it's almost impossible.
Fyodor DostoevskyStichwörter: love-of-neighbor
You know, dear boy, there was an old sinner in the eighteenth century who declared that, if there were no God, he would have to be invented. S'il n'existait pas Dieu, il faudrait l'inventer. And man has actually invented God. And what's strange, what would be marvellous, is not that God should really exist; the marvel is that such an idea, the idea of the necessity of God, could enter the head of such a savage, vicious beast as man. So holy it is, so touching, so wise and so great a credit it does to man. As for me, I've long resolved not to think whether man created God or God man.
Fyodor DostoevskyStichwörter: inventing-god

Fyodor DostoevskyStichwörter: evil
For the secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for. Without a stable conception of the object of life, man would not consent to go on living, and would rather destroy himself than remain on earth, though he had bread in abundance.
Fyodor DostoevskyStichwörter: object-of-life
There are three powers, three powers alone, able to conquer and to hold captive for ever the conscience of these impotent rebels for their happiness-those forces are miracle, mystery and authority.
Fyodor DostoevskyStichwörter: powers
Thou wouldst not enslave man by a miracle, and didst crave faith given freely, not based on miracle. Thou didst crave for free love and not the base raptures of the slave before the might that has overawed him for ever.
Fyodor DostoevskyStichwörter: faith
Months and years!' he would exclaim. 'Why recon the days? One day is enough for a man to know all happiness.
Fyodor DostoevskyStichwörter: life
What a book the Bible is, what a miracle, what strength is given with it to man. It s like a mould cast of the world and man and human nature, everything is there, and a law for everything for all the ages. And what mysteries are solved and revealed
Fyodor DostoevskyStichwörter: the-bible
