"I almost do not exist now and..." - Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Nothing is more seductive for a man than his freedom of conscience, but nothing is a greater cause of suffering.”

“You pass by a little child, you pass by, spiteful, with ugly words, with wrathful heart; you may not have noticed the child, but he has seen you, and your image, unseemly and ignoble, may remain in his defenseless heart. You don't know it, but you may have sown an evil seed in him and it may grow, and all because you were not careful before the child, because you did not foster in yourself a careful, actively benevolent love.”

“The man who is happy is fulfilling the purpose of existence”

“Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. … The ultimate purpose of human existence, which is to say, your purpose, is to bring that power into this world.”

“Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.”

“It's hard to get into this world and hard to get out of it, and what's in between doesn't make much sense.”

“If you come to fame not understanding who you are, it will define who you are. It shouldn't change you. If you're a jerk, you just get to be a bigger jerk. What fame does is magnify who you are and puts that on a platter for the whole world to see.”

“I'm a geek.”

“I actually was a writer who had the ability to perform his own work as opposed to a comedian who wrote his own material. So that really made me happy and changed my whole perspective.”
