The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky
3.0
“Isn't instinct of self-preservation alone by itself not enough? surely instinct of self-preservation is a fundamental law of nature”
“But fundamental only in as much as the law of destruction is, or say, self-destruction is fundamental. Do you really imagine that the basic law of nature is founded on self-preservation alone?[...]the instinct of self-preservation and the urge to self-destruction are equally strong in man!”
