Fedor Dostoevsky

Fedor Dostoevsky

"Art is such a human need, like the need to eat and drink. The need for beauty and creativity, which embodies it, cannot be separated from man, and without it, man, perhaps, would not want to live in the world" - Dostoevsky. From the 25 most influential creators project

Alexander Cherkov, "Fedor Dostoevsky", 2019, ceramic bas-relief, 4X45X22 cm

Selected quotes by author Fedor Dostoevsky:

"Beauty will save the world."

"Art is such a human need, as the need to eat and drink. The need for beauty and creativity, which embodies it, is inseparable from man, and without it, man, perhaps, would not want to live in the world."

"One should love life more than the meaning of life."

"That I will achieve nothing, that the calculation will be wrong, that I will break out and fail, anyway I go. I go because I want to."
