Words of Wisdom -- Fyodor Dostoevsky

One of my favorite quotes, from "Notes from Underground" by Fyodor Dostoevsky."I could not become anything; neither good nor bad; neither a scoundrel nor an honest man; niether a hero nor an insect. And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything, that only a fool can become something."

All of his books are master pieces, he was a known gambler, but with his wives support emerged one of the greatest writers of this century.

He must have been referring to the Goulag when he wrote that. I can identify with him, in that i am a decent musician, teaching several instruements. Yet if i were a model with no discernable talent and a global marketing strategy i could become a successful musician.

I really enjoyed how you spoke this passage, it felt like Fyodor was speaking it himself. You should certainly do more.

I ' m a failure, Fluck! fail. This is the best thing anyone can be in this world because all the success you earn will lead to failure in the end.

MLK was not an honest man, he was a whoremongering communist.

Remember that Dostoevsky was a hard working man himself, and did work really hard on his last novel. He makes amazing observations and arguments but doesn't always personally believe them.
