Quote of the day by 19th-century novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky: The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he is in prison.

Fyodor Dostoevsky, a pivotal 19th-century Russian thinker, explored human psychology, sin, and faith through his profound novels. His writings, particularly his insights on control through unawareness and the comfort of familiarity, continue to resonate. Dostoevsky's own life, marked by hardship and a near-death experience, deeply influenced his exploration of suffering and redemption.
