Clinton & Karamazon...

Quoting...

Asked by a student to name a book that had made an impact on her, Mrs. Clinton singled out "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoevsky. She said the parable of the Grand Inquisitor in that novel spoke to dangers of certitude, and was a lesson she had carried with her for her adult life.



"One of the greatest threats we face is from people who believe they are absolutely, certainly right about everything," Mrs. Clinton said.
