PENSAMENTO (FYODOR)

"Ah, well, man holds the remedy in his own hands, and lets everything go its own way, simply through cowardice - that is an axiom. I should like to know what people fear most: whatever is contrary to their usual habits, I imagine. But I am talking too much. I talk and so I do nothing, though I might just as well say, I do nothing and so I talk."

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, in Crime and Punishment.
