Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I sogni di un malato sono caratterizzati spesso da straordinario rilievo, vividezza ed eccezionale somiglianza con la realtà. L'evento è, a volte, mostruoso, ma l'ambiente e l'intero processo della rappresentazione sono così verosimili e così ricchi di sfumature, di particolari inattesi ma artisticamente appropriati all'insieme, che chi sogna non saprebbe inventarli da sveglio, nemmeno se fosse un artista della grandezza di Puškin o di Turgenev. Questi sogni, poi - sogni morbosi -, rimangono a lungo impressi nella memoria, e producono un'impressione profonda su un organismo già scosso ed eccitato.”

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.
