Hallo dear readers,
Today we will look at five quotes from Fyodor Dostoevsky.

-Fyodor Dostoevsky
"Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth."
-Fyodor Dostoevsky
"To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's."
-Fyodor Dostoevsky
"Man only likes to count his troubles; he doesn't calculate his happiness."
-Fyodor Dostoevsky
"Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most."
-Fyodor Dostoevsky
