Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground
(via booklover)
“maybe i’ve done a very bad thing in sitting down to write; there is immeasurably more left inside than what comes out in words. your thought, even a bad one, while it is with you, is always more profound, but in words it is more ridiculous and dishonourable.” the adolescent, fyodor dostoyevsky
(via misswallflower)
“tell me the truth once and for all, to the one question intelligent people never ask: did you ever love me, or was i … mistaken?” - the adolescent, fyodor dostoyevsky
(via 32flavors-)
“love a man even in his sin, for that is the semblance of the Divine Love and is the highest love on earth.” - the brothers karamazov, fyodor dostoyevsky
“and behold, from the other end of the earth perhaps, your prayer for their rest will rise up to God though you knew them not nor they you. how touching it must be to a soul standing in dread before the Lord to know at that instant, for him too, there is one to pray, that there is a fellow creature left on earth to love him. and God will look on you both more graciously…” - the brothers karamazov, fyodor dostoyevsky
“loving humility is marvelously strong, the strongest of all things. there is nothing else like it.” - the brothers karamazov, fyodor dostoyevsky
