Fyodor Dostoevsky - Demons

Man is unhappy because he doesn't know he's happy; only because of that. It's everything, everything!




Everything is good, everything.


For all those who know that everything is good. If they knew it was good with them, it would be good with them, but as long as they don't know it's good with them, it will not be good with them. That's the whole thought, the whole, there isn't any more!







I pray to everything. See, there's a spider crawling on the wall, I look and am thankful to it for crawling.


My friend, the real truth is always implausible, did you know that?






Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not mad, by God, I'm not mad!







Ces gens-la supposent la nature ete la societe humaine autre que Dieu ne les a faites et u'elles ne sont reellement.

These people imagine that nature and human society are otherwise than God made them and than they actually are.







If you want to overcome the world, overcome yourself.






I am a whimsical child with all the egoism of a child, but none of the innocence.

Si deus me relinquit
Ego deum relinquo
Solus opressus
Nigram claven
Habere potest
Omnias ianuas praecludo
Sic omnias
Precationes obsigno
Sed
Qui me defendet
Ab me terriblissmo
Ipse






If God has forsaken me
Then I forsake God, too
Only the opressed
May possess
A black key
I close all doors
Thus I seal
Away all prayers
However
Who protects me
From the most frightful
Myself

Et je commence a croire. Vous et le bonheur, cous arrivez en meme temps.


And I am beginning to believe.  You and happiness, you arrive at the same time.

On m'a traite comme un vieux bonnet de coton!



Where, finally, am I, i myself, my former self, strong as steel and unshakable as rock, while now some Andrejeff, un Orthodox clown in a beard, peut briser mon existence en deux.

Stepan Trofimovich

whatever do you intend for me to think

i'm not going to be weighed down

so i'll just learn again

Dostoevsky

I've tormented and tortured myself, without knowing myself what I'm doing...

assez cause.
