Razumihin’s Wisdom from Crime and Punishment

“I am a man because I err! You never reach any truth without making fourteen mistakes and very likely a hundred and fourteen… To go wrong in one’s own way is better than to go right in someone else’s. In the first case you are a man, in the second you’re no better than a bird.”

-Razumihin, Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment, Constance Garnett Translation

Dostoyevsky, Fyodor. Crime and Punishment. Translated by Constance Garnett, The Macmillan Company, 1914.
