Idiota

Da L’Idiota di Dostoevskij (e su segnalazione di un’amica):

“Let me add to this that in every idea emanating from genius, or
even in every serious human idea–born in the human brain–there
always remains something–some sediment–which cannot be expressed
to others, though one wrote volumes and lectured upon it for
five-and-thirty years. There is always a something, a remnant,
which will never come out from your brain, but will remain there
with you, and you alone, for ever and ever, and you will die,
perhaps, without having imparted what may be the very essence of your idea to a single living soul.“
