Fyodor Dostoevsky on the mystery of life

 ‘Humanity is a mystery. It needs to be unravelled, and if you spend your whole life unravelling it, don’t say that you have wasted time. I’m studying that mystery, because I want to be a human being.’  

Fyodor Dostoevsky in a letter he wrote to his brother Mikhail on learning of the death of his father.
