Lev Shestov said this quote

Herein lies the supreme wisdom, human and divine; and the task of philosophy consists in teaching men to submit joyously to Necessity which hears nothing and is indifferent to all.

~ Lev Shestov

Suffering buys something, and this something possesses a certain value for all of us, for common consciousness; by suffering we buy the right to judge.

~ Lev Shestov

But Dostoevsky does allow himself to ask just this very question: whether our reason has any right to judge between the possible and the impossible.

~ Lev Shestov

If Darwin had seen in life what Dostoevsky saw, he would not have talked of the law of the preservation of species, but of its destruction.
