Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“La physique a prouvé depuis longtemps que la nature avait horreur du vide. En accord avec cela, l'intérieur du crocodile doit justement être vide, pour avoir horreur du vide, et, par conséquent, avaler sans arrêt et se remplir avec ce qu'il trouve à portée de main. Et voilà l'unique raison rationnelle qui explique pourquoi les crocodiles nous avalent, nous les hommes.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky ,
from The Crocodile

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.
