About This Quote
Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote: “It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them.” He was saying that he had not written down his dream because he knew that he would never be able to fulfill it. Instead, he wrote the book as a way of showing that he had come close to realizing his dream, but hadn’t quite gotten there.
