Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“En el momento de cometer el crimen, el culpable estaba afectado de una pérdida de voluntad y raciocinio, a los que sustituía una especie de inconsciencia infantil, verdaderamente monstruosa, precisamente en el momento en que la prudencia y la cordura le eran más necesarias. Atribuía este eclipse del juicio y esta pérdida de la voluntad a una enfermedad que se desarrollaba lentamente, alcanzaba su máxima intensidad poco antes de la perpetración del crimen, se mantenía en un estado estacionario durante su ejecución y hasta algún tiempo después (el plazo dependía del individuo), y terminaba al fin, como terminan todas las enfermedades.

Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky was a Russian writer, essayist and philosopher, perhaps most recognized today for his novels Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov.
Dostoyevsky's literary output explores human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society. Considered by many as a founder or precursor of 20th-century existentialism, his Notes from Underground (1864), written in the embittered voice of the anonymous "underground man", was called by Walter Kaufmann the "best overture for existentialism ever written."
His tombstone reads "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." from John 12:24, which is also the epigraph of his final novel, The Brothers Karamazov.
