Dostoevsky: The degree of civilization ... | yellow on black | Long Sleeve Jersey

“The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.” —Fyodor Dostoevsky

Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821–1881) wrote from the depths of experience — a former political prisoner who endured years in a Siberian labor camp. His insight, born of suffering, indicts every society that measures progress by wealth or power instead of mercy and justice. This quote remains a stark reminder: the truest mirror of civilization is how it treats those it confines and forgets.
