"The real nineteenth-century prophet was
Dostoevsky, not Karl Marx.”-Albert Camus
“Dostoevsky gives me more than any
scientist, more than Gauss!”-Albert Einstein
“The only psychologist from whom I
have anything to learn.”-Friedrich Nietzsche
“The novels of Dostoevsky are seething whirlpools,
gyrating sandstorms, waterspouts which hiss and boil
and suck us in. They are composed purely and wholly
of the stuff of the soul. Against our wills we are drawn in,
whirled round, blinded, suffocated, and at the same
time filled with a giddy rapture. Out of Shakespeare
there is no more exciting reading.”-Virginia Woolf
