– Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky
If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don't bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas you will get better results if you just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he's a good man.
– Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky

– Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky

So long as man remains free he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find something to worship...What is essential is that all may be together in it. The craving for community worship is the chief misery of...all humanity. For the sake of common worship they've slain each other with the sword.
– Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky
