That, I take it, is the\npoint of your article. But that sanction of bloodshed by con-\nscience isto my mind . . . more terrible than the official, legal\nsanction of bloodshed. . . .\"\n\"You are quite right, it is more terrible,\" Porfiry agreed.\n\"Yes, you must have exaggerated! There is some mistake, I\nshall read it. You can't think that! I shall read it.\"\n\"All that is not in the article, there's only a hint of it,\" saidRaskolnikov.\n\"Yes, yes.\" Porfiry couldn't sit still. \"Your attitude to crime\nis pretty clear to me now, but . . . excuse me for my imper-\ntinence (Iam really ashamed to be worrying you like this) , you\nsee, you've removed my anxiety as to the two grades' getting\nmixed, but . . . there are various practical possibilities that make\nme uneasy! What if some man or youth imagines that he is a\nLycurgus or Mahomet — a future one of course — and suppose\nhe begins to remove all obstacles. . . . He has some great enter-\nprise before him and needs money for it . . . and tries to get it\n... do you see?\"\nZametov gave a sudden guflfaw in his corner. Raskolnikov did\nnot even raise his eyes to him.\n\"I must admit,\" he went on calmly, \"that such cases certainly\nmust arise. The vain and foolish are particularly apt to fall\ninto that snare; young people especially.\"\n\"Yes, you see. Well then?\"\n\"What then?\" Raskolnikov smiled in reply; \"that's not my\nfault. So it is and so it always will be. He said just now (he\nnodded at Razumihin) that I sanction bloodshed. Society is too\nwell protected by prisons, banishment, criminal investigators,\npenal servitude. There's no need to be uneasy. You have but\nto catch the thief.\"\n\"And what if we do catch him?\"\n\"Then he gets what he deserves.\"\n\"You are certainly logical. But what of his conscience?\"\n\"Why do you care about that?\"\n\"Simply from humanity.\"","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-20T15:31:52.743Z","text_extracted_by":"pdf-processor","text_has_content":true,"text_source":"born_digital","uploaded":true},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KFCZZ05FKVDDMJJV3YE9Q4WH","peer_label":"crimepunishment00dostiala.pdf","peer_type":"file","predicate":"derived_from"},{"peer":"01KESYJX0Z6XE0HWTS5N3SDG0B","peer_label":"The Classics","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-20T15:31:56.442Z","ts":"2026-01-20T15:31:58.549Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFCZWTBNJH4WFMS8354919KY"}}
