| Fyodor Dostoyevsky |
To go wrong in one's own way is better then to go right in someone else's.
It's the great mystery of human life that old grief passes gradually into quiet, tender joy.
Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
The cleverest of all, in my opinion, is the man who calls himself a fool at least once a month.
The soul is healed by being with children.
Beauty will save the world.
The darker the night, the brighter the stars,
The deeper the grief, the closer is God!
Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery..
Man is a mystery. It needs to be unraveled, and if you spend your whole life unraveling it, don't say that you've wasted time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a human being.
People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.
Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.
(Note: Funny how the wise from every race & culture tend to encircle the same eternal flame).
