"Can a man of perception respect himself..." - Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky

“What does reason know? Reason only knows what it has succeeded in learning.”

“... you can never be sure of what has passed between husband and wife or lover and mistress.”

“A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and, in order to divert himself, having no love in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal. And it all comes from lying - lying to others and to yourself.”

“Cast a cold eye on life, on death Horseman pass by”

“Some people cannot see a good thing when it is right here, right now. Others can sense a good thing coming when it is days, months, or miles away.”

“Normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them.”

“Never expect people to treat you any better than you treat yourself.”

“The people who truly know me know what I'm like. There have been people who try to say things that aren't fair, and I check them. And then they don't like me because I checked them.”

“I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.”
