In the words of a Russian critic, who seeks to explain the feeling inspired by Dostoevsky: He was one of our
selves, a man of our blood and our bone, but one who has suffered and has seen so much more deeply than we have, his insight impresses us as wisdom... that wisdom of the heart which we seek that we may learn from it how to live. All his other gifts came to him from nature, this he won for him
self and through it he became great."
