Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Dans la suite de mon article, j’insiste, je m’en souviens, sur cette idée que tous les législateurs et les guides de l’humanité, en commençant par les plus anciens, pour continuer par Lycurgue, Solon, Mahomet, Napoléon, etc., que tous, sans exception, ont été des criminels, car en donnant de nouvelles lois, ils ont par cela même violé les anciennes, observées fidèlement par la société et transmises par les ancêtres; certainement ils ne reculaient pas non plus devant l’effusion du sang, dès qu’elle pouvait leur être utile. Il est même à remarquer que presque tous”

Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky was a Russian writer, essayist and philosopher, perhaps most recognized today for his novels Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov.
Dostoyevsky's literary output explores human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society. Considered by many as a founder or precursor of 20th-century existentialism, his Notes from Underground (1864), written in the embittered voice of the anonymous "underground man", was called by Walter Kaufmann the "best overture for existentialism ever written."
His tombstone reads "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." from John 12:24, which is also the epigraph of his final novel, The Brothers Karamazov.
