“Almost every criminal is subject to a failure of will and reasoning power by a childish and phenomenal heedlessness at the very instant when prudence and caution are most essential. It was his conviction that this eclipse of reason and failure of willpower attacked a man like a disease, developed gradually and reached its highest point just before the perpetration of the crime, continued with equal violence at the moment of the crime and for a longer or shorter time thereafter, according to the individual case, and then passed off like any other disease .The question whether the disease gives rise to the crime, or whether the crime from its own particular nature is always accompanied by something of the nature of the disease, he did not yet feel able to decide.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, “Crime and Punishment”.
