By Fyodor Dostoevsky • Philosophical Literature & Moral Theology
Dostoevsky's final masterpiece stages humanity's deepest debates on faith, doubt, free will, suffering, and active love through the Karamazov brothers and Elder Zosima.
“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him.”
“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”
“Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared to love in dreams.”
“The soul is healed by being with children.”
“What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”
