Fyodor Dostoevsky
But do you understand, I cry to him, do you understand that if you have the guillotine in the forefront, and with such glee, it's for the sole reason that cutting heads off is the easiest thing, and having an idea is difficult!

Whatever distinguishes one lump of flesh from another when we're alive, we're all the same once we're dead. Just used-up shells.
