Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821 - 1881)

Their lives are motivated only by mutual envy, sensuality, and ostentation.

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821 - 1881), Notes from the Underground

So those who think they don't need God are really just idol worshipers, and that's what we should call them. But there must be true atheists too; only they're much more dangerous because they come to us with the name of God on their lips . . . There are some people like that, my friends, and there should be.
