A Fool

"I could not become anything:
Neither bad nor good,
neither a scoundrel nor an honest man,
neither a hero nor an insect.

And now I am eking out my days in my corner,
taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that
an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything;
that only a fool can become something."

Fyodor Mikhailovich DOSTOEVSKY,
Notes from Underground
