Quote of the Day by Fyodor Dostoevsky: ‘All men are divided into ‘ordinary’ and ‘extraordinary.’ Ordinary men have to live in submission, have no right to transgress the law…’

Quote of the Day from Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment frames the novel’s exploration of extraordinary individuals as a profound moral question: can some transcend the law? Raskolnikov’s theory divides people into ordinary and extraordinary, suggesting a few might stand beyond conventional rules. Yet his brutal acts become a grim test of that belief, ultimately unveiling the tragic repercussions of such an ideology.
