“It's life that matters, nothing but life鈥攖he process of discovering, the everlasting and perpetual process, not the discovery itself, at all.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Idiot

“Children can be told anything鈥攁nything. I've always been struck by seeing how little grown-up people understand children, how little parents even understand their own children. Nothing should be concealed from children on the pretext that they are little and that it is too early for them to understand. What a miserable and unfortunate idea! And how readily the children detect that their fathers consider them too little to understand anything, though they understand everything. Grown-up people do not know that a child can give exceedingly good advice even in the most difficult case.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Idiot

“We've already had Malthus, the friend of humanity. But the friend of humanity with shaky moral principles is the devourer of humanity, to say nothing of his conceit; for, wound the vanity of any one of these numerous friends of humanity, and he's ready to set fire to the world out of petty revenge鈥攍ike all the rest of us, though, in that, to be fair; like myself, vilest of all, for I might well be the first to bring the fuel and run away myself.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Idiot

― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Idiot

“But a certain dullness of mind seems an almost necessary qualification, if not for every public man, at least for every one seriously engaged in making money.”

“Keep a spur handy.”
― Meg Mims, Double Crossing

“... when God will chastise a man, He first of all deprives him of his reason....”

“Jewels are an adornment to women, but a blemish to men. They bespeak either effeminacy or a love of display. The hand of a man is honored in working for labor is his mission and the hands that wears its riches on its fingers has rarely worked honestly to win them. (1869)”
