“Într-adevăr, nu știu fiindcă... Fiindcă nu-mi dau seama de ce mă iubești atâta! Da, știi tu că chiar iubirea aceasta mă zdrobește? Știi tu că adesea, mai ales când mă duceam la culcare și mă gândeam la tine (fiindcă totdeauna mă gândesc la tine înainte de a a dormi), lacrimi îmi șiroiau pe față și inima îmi palpita deoarece... Deoarece... Hai să-ți spun: deoarece tu mă iubeai atâta, iar eu nu-mi puteam ușura deloc sufletul, nu eram în stare să te răsplătesc cu nimic...”

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.
