In old days, once a year at any rate a fool would recognise that he was a fool, but nowadays not a bit of it. The wisest of all, in my opinion, is he who can, if only once a month, call himself a fool - a faculty unheard of nowadays. So it seems the critics can call them mad, but they cannot produce any one better. Well, but after all, these so-called madmen have turned out cleverer than ever. 'however, one ought to have foreseen it long ago.' That is rather artful so that from the point of view of pure art one may really commend it. And in such language! 'With such original talent'.

A great many people were put down as mad among us last year.

I believe in Christ and confess him not like some child my hosanna has passed through an enormous furnace of doubt.

As quoted in Kierkegaard, the Melancholy Dane (1950) by Harold Victor Martin.

My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt.

It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ.

But money can always and everywhere be spent, and, moreover, forbidden fruit is sweetest of all. If money is jingling in his pocket, he is half consoled, even though he cannot spend it. Money is coined liberty, and so it is ten times dearer to the man who is deprived of freedom.And there is only one higher idea on earth, and it is the idea of the immortality of the human soul, for all other 'higher' ideas of life by which humans might live derive from that idea alone. Neither a person nor a nation can exist without some higher idea.Fonvisin (1854), as published in Letters of Fyodor Michailovitch Dostoevsky to his Family and Friends (1914), translated by Ethel Golburn Mayne, Letter XXI, p. I would even say more: If anyone could prove to me that Christ is outside the truth, and if the truth really did exclude Christ, I should prefer to stay with Christ and not with truth. This creed is extremely simple here it is: I believe that there is nothing lovelier, deeper, more sympathetic, more rational, more manly, and more perfect than the Saviour I say to myself with jealous love that not only is there no one else like Him, but that there could be no one. And yet God gives me sometimes moments of perfect peace in such moments I love and believe that I am loved in such moments I have formulated my creed, wherein all is clear and holy to me. How dreadfully has it tormented me (and torments me even now) this longing for faith, which is all the stronger for the proofs I have against it. I want to say to you, about myself, that I am a child of this age, a child of unfaith and scepticism, and probably (indeed I know it) shall remain so to the end of my life.Personal correspondence (1839), as quoted in Dostoevsky: His Life and Work (1971) by Konstantin Mochulski, as translated by Michael A.I occupy myself with this mystery, because I want to be a man. Man is a mystery: if you spend your entire life trying to puzzle it out, then do not say that you have wasted your time. To study the meaning of man and of life - I am making significant progress here.
