Original Note:
There is no record of Dostoevsky ever making this statement. A 2019 Reddit thread asked Russian speakers to translate the quote to English without mentioning Dostoevsky. In 2021, the quote resurfaced in English and began including the false attribution to Dostoevsky. https://misbar.com/en/factcheck/2021/08/19/quote-about-tolerance-and-intelligent-people-is-misattributed-to-dostoevsky https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fyodor-dostoevsky-quote-on-tolerance/
