Dostoevsky: "No, because we must endure unspeakable suffering in life to fully understand the human condition!"
Dostoevsky as an Engineer
Dostoevsky: "Yes, this bridge is my masterpiece. It is the ultimate symbol of how science can never answer the question of what gives our life meaning."
Person: "How so?"
Dostoevsky: "Well, when people drive over it, it collapses and they plummet to their deaths, for one."
Dostoevsky as a Doctor:
Patient's relative: "What is the diagnosis, Doctor?"
Dostoevsky: "Brain fever!"
Dostoevsky: "And also equally to blame is a deep existential despair that no matter what we do we can never create a perfect world on earth."](http://static.existentialcomics.com/comics/DostoyevskyFindOtherEmployment1.png)

Dostoevsky: "If God exists then you must sacrifice everything for your eternal life, you fool!"

Dostoevsky as an Office worker:
Human resources person: "Do you know why we've called you in here, Dostoevsky?"
Dostoevsky: "Not really."
Human resources person: "One of your coworkers said you threatened to “murder her so hard with an axeâ€."
