Dostoevsky Quotes

“Here Dostoevsky draws what seems to him the moral of the revolutions of 1848, and applies it to the Russian situation... "Every society can accommodate only that degree of progress that it has developed and begun to understand. Why reach further, why reach for the stars in the sky? This can destroy everything because it can frighten everyone.”
― Joseph Frank, Dostoevsky: The Stir of Liberation, 1860-1865
