Fyodor Dostoyevsky on philosophy

The second half of a man’s life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half.

There is nothing easier than lopping off heads and nothing harder than developing ideas.

If you want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.

The unexamined life is not worth living.
