Dreams seem to be spurred on not by reason but by desire, not by the head but by the heart, and yet what complicated tricks my reason has played sometimes in dreams, what utterly incomprehensible things happen to it!

FYODOR
DOSTOEVSKY, It takes something more than intelligence to act intelligently. FYODOR
