"A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and, in order to divert himself, having no love in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal. And it all comes from lying - lying to others and to yourself." - Fyodor Dostoevsky"The darker the night, the brighter the stars, The deeper the grief, the closer is God!" - Fyodor Dostoevsky
"When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live; how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul-then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness." - Fyodor Dostoevsky
"Only through suffering can we find ourselves." - Fyodor Dostoevsky
"If there is no God, everything is permitted." - Fyodor Dostoevsky
Thank you for the Dostoevsky.
