acts; but would one have the courage to carry them through? For example, I could not bear to break my
word or to kill; I should languish, and eventually I should die as a result—that would be my fate." From

which Dostoievsky had already said that if one offered it to people, one could always be sure of seeing
them rushing to seize it.”
