Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“«Эти люди, — думалось ему, — вот эти-то самые люди, которые еще за минуту не знают, зарежут они или нет, — уж как возьмут раз нож в свои дрожащие руки и как почувствуют первый брызг горячей крови на своих пальцах, то мало того что зарежут, — голову совсем отрежут «напрочь», как выражаются каторжные. Это так».”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky ,

Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky was a Russian writer, essayist and philosopher, perhaps most recognized today for his novels Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov.
Dostoyevsky's literary output explores human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society. Considered by many as a founder or precursor of 20th-century existentialism, his Notes from Underground (1864), written in the embittered voice of the anonymous "underground man", was called by Walter Kaufmann the "best overture for existentialism ever written."
His tombstone reads "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." from John 12:24, which is also the epigraph of his final novel, The Brothers Karamazov.
