Fyodor Dostoyevsky quotes on suffering and troubles

"Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth."

"The darker the night, the brighter the stars,
The deeper the grief, the closer is God!"


"Man only likes to count his troubles; he doesn't calculate his happiness."


"I believe like a child that suffering will be healed and made up for, that all the humiliating absurdity of human contradictions will vanish like a pitiful mirage.


"Fathers and teachers, I ponder 'What is hell?' I maintain that it is the
suffering of being unable to love."
