"Two times two will be four even..." - Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky

“If you can put the question, 'Am I or am I not responsible for my acts?' then you are responsible.”

“Every man has some reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends. He has others which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself, and that in secret. But finally there are still others which a man is even afraid to tell himself, and every decent man has a considerable number of such things stored away. That is, one can even say that the more decent he is, the greater the number of such things in his mind.”

“For all is like an ocean, all flows and connects; touch it in one place and it echoes at the other end of the world.”

“The power to think as you wish to think is the only power over which you have absolute control.”

“I am a determinist. As such, I do not believe in free will...Practically, I am, nevertheless, compelled to act as if freedom of the will existed. If I wish to live in a civilized community, I must act as if man is a responsible being.”

“Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living.”

“As you cannot do what you want, Want what you can do”

“Life happens whilst you're planning other things.”

“Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth.”
