Quote of the Day by Fyodor Dostoyevsky: Fyodor Dostoevsky’s quote asks readers to look at human wrongdoing without reducing people to their worst actions. The passage urges love even when someone is struggling with sin, while extending that concern to animals, plants and the natural world. It comes from The Brothers Karamazov , where the words are spoken by Father Zosima, one of the novel’s central spiritual figures.
