Fyodor Dostoevsky Quotes About Awareness

Quotes about: Awareness

• I don't need money, or, better, it's not money that I need; it's not even power; I need only what is obtained by power and simply cannot be obtained without power: the solitary and calm awareness of strength! That is the fullest definition of freedom, which the world so struggles over!

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

  Struggle, Needs, World

  Fyodor Dostoevsky (2007). “The Adolescent”, p.88, Vintage

• This pleasure comes precisely from the sharpest awareness of your own degradation; from the knowledge that you have gone to the utmost limit; that it is despicable, yet cannot be otherwise; that you no longer have any way out; that you will never become a different man.

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

  Men, Gone, Degradation

• It sometimes happened that you might be familiar with a man for several years thinking he was a wild animal, and you would regard him with contempt. And then suddenly a moment would arrive when some uncontrollable impulse would lay his soul bare, and you would behold in it such riches, such sensitivity and warmth, such a vivid awareness of its own suffering and the suffering of others, that the scales would fall from your eyes and at first you would hardly be able to believe what you had seen and heard. The reverse also happens.

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

  Believe, Fall, Eye
