Raskolnikov:
I asked myself one day this question: what if Napoleon had happened to be in my place? And if he had not had Toulon nor Egypt to begin his career with, but instead of all those picturesque and monumental things, there had simply been some ridiculous old hag, a pawnbroker, who had to be murdered too to get money from her trunk for his career. You understand? Would he have brought himself to that? Wouldn't he have felt a pang at its being far from monumental, and sinful? l worried myself fearfully over that question, and l was ashamed when l guessed at last that he wouldn't have, that it wouldn't even have struck him that it was not monumental. He would have strangled her without thinking about it. Well, I too... Left off thinking about it... I just murdered her. Following his example.
