Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Nothing is easier than condemning a person. Nothing is harder than understanding them.”

“A human being is a mystery. It must be unravelled, and whoever spends a life at it has not wasted their time.”

“Whoever lies to themselves ends up losing the ability to tell anything apart.”

“A person does not grow through happiness. They grow through what they have carried.”

“Man is a mystery. It must be unravelled, and if you spend your whole life at it, do not say you wasted your time.”

“One who lies to themselves and listens to their own lie comes to know no truth at all.”

“Suffering is the sole origin of consciousness.”

“Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared with love in dreams.”

“The mystery of existence lies not in living alone, but in knowing what one lives for.”
