Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881)

• The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.

• Man is tormented by no greater anxiety than to find someone quickly to whom he can hand over that great gift of freedom with which the ill-fated creature is born.

• If you want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.

• Neither man or nation can exist without a sublime idea.

• There is nothing easier than lopping off heads and nothing harder than developing ideas.

• The second half of a man's life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half.
