To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
走自己的错误道路，胜过走别人正确的道路。 Zǒu zìjǐ de cuòwù dàolù, shèngguò zǒu biérén zhèngquè de dàolù. To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's. Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Crime and Punishmen "Crime and Punishment," by Fyodor Dostoevsky, is a psychological novel set in St. Petersburg that explores the moral dilemmas and psychological torment of Rodion Raskolnikov, a destitute former student. Driven by a nihilistic theory that some individuals are exempt from moral law, Raskolnikov murders an elderly pawnbroker and her sister. The novel then delves into his guilt, paranoia, and eventual breakdown as he grapples with the consequences of his actions, interacting with characters like the prostitute Sonia and the detective Porfiry.
