Book Quotes

“To be astonished at everything, of course, is silly, while to be astonished at nothing is much more handsome, and for some reason is recognized as a good form. But surely it's not like that in reality. In my opinion, it's much sillier to be astonished at nothing than to be astonished at everything. And what's more: to be astonished at nothing is almost the same thing as to respect nothing. And a silly man is not capable of showing respect.”

― Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Acho que o mais inteligente é quem ao menos uma vez por mês chama a si mesmo de imbecil — capacidade de que hoje não se ouve falar!”

“Acho que o mais inteligente é quem ao menos uma vez por mês chama a si mesmo de imbecil — capacidade de que hoje não se ouve falar! Antes ao menos uma vez por ano o imbecil sabia sobre si mesmo que era imbecil, mas hoje, nem isso. E confundiram tanto a coisa que a gente não distingue o imbecil do inteligente. Isso eles fizeram de propósito.”

― Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky

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.
