- Alyosha Karamazov: Whoever loves human beings loves their joy, and all that is true and beautiful in the world is always full of universal forgiveness.
- Ivan Karamazov: If I didn't believe in life, if I lost all faith in love, was convinced that everything is a disorderly, damnable, devil-ridden mess - I should still want to live, and, having once tasted of the cup, I would not turn away till I had drained it.
- Grushenka: If I were God, I'd forgive everyone. Everyone in the whole world is good. Everyone - even the worst of them. We're good and bad, good and bad...
- Fyodor Karamazov: I did have am idea of beginning a new life, I did dream it. Chiefly because 'all things are lawful'. That was quite right, what you taught me.
