In describing the
underlying motivations of the young, radical” in The Devils, Dostoevsky
said:
“He’s a kind,
well-meaning boy, and awfully sensitive…But let me tell you, the whole trouble
stems from immaturity and sentimentality! It’s not the practical aspects of
socialism that fascinate him, but its emotional appeal – its idealism –what we
may call its mystical, religious aspect – its romanticism…and on top of that,
he just parrots other people.”
There is no creature more dangerous to civilization than the “idealist”.
C.S. Lewis
