Quite often, too, a writer who has for a time been believed to possess a great store of ordinarily profound ideas, and who is expected to exercise an extraordinary and serious influence in the progress of society, in the end betrays such shallowness and insipidity of his fundamental idea that no one is sorry when he succeeds in writing himself out too soon.
Fyodor DostoevskyLe plus monstrueux des monstres est le monstre à nobles sentiments.
Fyodor DostoevskyLes grandes idées sont plutôt le fruit d'un grand coeur que d'une grande intelligence.
Fyodor DostoevskyThis was not because he was cowardly and abject, quite the contrary; but for some time past he had been in an overstrained irritable condition, verging on hypochondria. He had become so completely absorbed in himself, and isolated from his fellows that he dreaded meeting, not only his landlady, but anyone at all. He was crushed by poverty, but the anxieties of his position had of late ceased to weigh upon him. He had given up attending to matters of practical importance; he had lost all desire to do so. Nothing that any landlady could do had a real terror for him. But to be stopped on the stairs, to be forced to listen to her trivial, irrelevant gossip, to pestering demands for payment, threats and complaints, and to rack his brains for excuses, to prevaricate, to lie—no, rather than that, he would creep down the stairs like a cat and slip out unseen.
Fyodor DostoevskyWe all have chance meetings with people, even with complete strangers, who interest us at first glance, suddenly, before a word is spoken.
Fyodor DostoevskyFarther on, in another place, she wrote: ‘Do not consider my words as the sickly ecstasies of a diseased mind, but you are, in my opinion—perfection! I have seen you—I see you every day. I do not judge you; I have not weighed you in the scales of Reason and found you Perfection—it is simply an article of faith. But I must confess one sin against you—I love you. One should not
love perfection. One should only look on it as perfection—yet I am in love with you. Though love equalizes, do not fear. I have not lowered you to my level,
even in my most secret thoughts. I have written ‘Do not fear,’ as if you could fear. I would kiss your footprints if I
could; but, oh! I am not putting myself on a level with you!
Bir insanı sevmek için diğer insanın kendisini gizlemesi gerekir, yüzünü gösterdiğinde sevgi kaybolur.
Fyodor DostoevskyStichwörter: sevgi
Aşık olmak sevmek demek değildir. Nefret ederken de aşık olmak mümkündür.
Fyodor Dostoevskyand what shall I have to dream of when I have been so happy in reality beside you!
Fyodor DostoevskyStichwörter: happiness love dream
I owe them nothing now, and owe no one anything for ever. They are wicked and I will be wicked. They are cruel and I will be cruel.
