Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821 - 1881)
Famous Works Include: Notes From Underground (1862), Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), The Possessed (1872), and The Brothers Karamazov (1881).
Dostoyevsky was a Russian writer, essayist, and philosopher who spent five years in a Siberian prison because of his involvement in a liberal intellectual group, followed by five more years as a soldier in a Siberian military regiment.
Quotes from Fyodor Dostoyevsky:
"Love a man, even in his sin, for that love is a likeness of the divine love, and is the summit of love on earth."
"It is not the brains that matter most, but that which guides them -- the character, the heart, generous qualities, progressive ideas."
