no, Dostojewski didn't say that, it's the maker of the meme who put these words there. Pay attention to this 'modern talk'

I agree he definitely didn't say that.

For one he spoke Russian.

Don't be stupid. I've seen enough American movies to know that Russians speak English with each other.

I often wonder if I could have been a Dostoyevsky if I weren't distracted by the Interwebs and boob tube.

For sure. There's still time.

Although, these "great thinkers" almost always have some degree of elite patron support.

Although, I don't see you sucking up to any patrons, which is admirable. But it's a philosopher set back.
