Quote of the Day
“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Arrested in 1849 for belonging to a literary group that discussed banned books critical of Tsarist Russia, Dostoyevsky was sentenced to death but the sentence was commuted at the last moment. He spent four years in a Siberian prison camp, followed by six years of compulsory military service in exile.
