More Quotes From Fyodor Dostoyevsky

One of the characters in our story, Gavril Ardalionovitch Ivolgin, belonged to the other category; he belonged to the category of "much cleverer" people; though head to toe he was infected with the desire to be original. But this class of person, as we have observed above, is far less happy than the first. The difficulty is that the intelligent "ordinary" man, even if he does imagine himself at times (and perhaps all his life) a person of genius and originality, nevertheless retains within his heart a little worm of doubt, which sometimes leads the intelligent man in the end to absolute despair. If he does yield in this belief, he is still completely poisoned with inward-driven vanity.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Originality and the feeling of one's own dignity are achieved only through work and struggle.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
If you want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself.
