Crime and Punishment

The Brothers Karamazov

To be a man is to be in the midst of suffering.

It is better to be unhappy than to be happy in a false way.

The darker the night, the brighter the stars.

What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.

I wanted to be in the midst of the chaos, and I wanted to know the truth.

The soul is healed by being with children.

Every action must be judged by the motive which inspired it.

It is better to be with God and with a man who suffers than to be alone in glory.

The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.
