Fyodor Dostoevsky

“I am crushed with tedium. Atter all, the direct, immediate, legitimate fruit of heightened consciousness is intertia, that is, the deliberate refusal to do anything. I have mentioned this before. I repeat, and repeat emphatically: all spontaneous people, men of action, are active because they are stupid and limited.”
