His character's quote is not his quote retard.

My fav is
>I have become Napolean, the king of manlets

>>22395501
probably this one, even if it is taken out of context

>>22395501
>But in some cases it is really more creditable to be carried away by an emotion, however unreasonable, which springs from a great love, than to be unmoved

>>22395501

>>22395501
this is like asking if you have a suit for the next wedding you'll be going to

>>22395501

>>22395589
Stoicbros...

Not like this...

>>22395501
I’ve always been a coward in action, but never at heart.

>>22395501
Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.

>>22395576
this is a nice one

>And if the sufferings of children go to swell the sum of sufferings which was necessary to pay for truth, then I protest that the truth is not worth such a price.

>>22395707
Idk if this is exactly the source but when ivan asks alyosha if he were God would he make the world if only one child had to suffer and he says no, peak moment, all other philosophy is basically irrelevant in this context.

My actual favorite is "That we have the power to be the best and the worst in the lives we come across". I'm pretty sure it was said by either Tikhon (Demons) or Zossima (Brothers Karamazov). It's the one profound saying I didn't take a picture of.

this is a close second

>>22396977
checked

>>22395501
"Beauty will save the world", the idiot.

>>22395501
Dosto was a literal schizo

>>22399387
the divine command

>>22399387
not like us freethinking atheists good sir

>>22395576
If you were to actually believe this quote, you would never seek justice again. You would become a literal cuckold since, if any person ever wronged you, it would be made right in final justification. Slave morality, worse even, it's like little baby morality thinking daddy will come along and make everything okay in the end. Embarrassing.

i regularly think about this one

Reality permits everything that happens. If God exists, he sits idly by and permits everything that happens to happen. If the quote refers to what can make a person do a thing, convincing a man God endorses something is the surefire way for him to do the most heinous acts imaginable. Essentially every war in human history has been sold to the populace as God's will, both sides leveraging this quirk of human psychology to bypass natural inhibitions to kill or maim a fellow human being. If left to themselves, good people will do the best they can and wicked people will do the worst they can, but for a good person to do a wicked thing, that requires religion.

this isn't a debatereligion post newfag
how LOW is your reading comprehension

>>22399403
I've been on 4chan for over a decade you snot nosed little faggot, Dosto is still the most overrated author of all time on this brain dead board. He explicitly said if he was proven 100% to be outside the truth, he'd stick to his delusions about Christ. Unfathomably cringe.

>>22399427
Sure thing, sprout. Summer ends soon, time to get ready for school :)

>>22399420
Dosto's quote was directly referencing theology. You are probably the dumbest poster on this whole board, which is really saying something.

>>22395501
literally yes, i don't see why these are in conflict

>>22399434
>Dosto's quote was directly referencing theology
i could see how someone would think that if they were educated by reddit

>>22395501
>Man is the creature that can get used to anything, it's his defining characteristic

>>22399441
>If something about God is x, then y
>"That's not religious or theological!"
You are retarded

>>22399448
it appears u may be mad.
u mad?

Why did Stavrogin do it at the end?

If you never thought up any of these quotes when you were 14, you're ngmi.

>>22399508
>hurr durr obvious lines
u showed the world your talent as a literary critic anon
and desu it was a little lacking

To study the meaning of man and of life — I am making significant progress here. I have faith in myself.
Man is a mystery: if you spend your entire life trying to puzzle it out, then do not say that you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery, because I want to be a man.

My friend, I've been lying all my life. Even when I was telling the truth. I never spoke for the truth, but only for myself, I knew that before, but only now do I see...Oh, where are those friends whom I have insulted with my friendship all my life? And everyone, everyone! Savez-vous, perhaps I'm lying now; certainly I'm also lying now. The worst of it is that I believe myself when I lie. The most difficult thing in life is to live and not lie...and...and not believe one's own lie

>>22399458
uhh, how to stop it?

>>22399538
take the alyosha pill

>>22399541
I dont know if faith helps.
