'If I go, Grey can marry. The family will have a sure support. "Then she folded the letter into odd shapes, with an idiotic look. "'Do you want me to answer it? I asked. "'Yes, I do. Tell him I'll go. Grey can be happy then, and the others will have enough to eat. I never was of any use before. "I knew that well enough. I sat down to write the letter.
And is there anything more idiotic than that you, the father of the best son in the world, should sit here alone, fretting yourself yellow and lean until from a stately looking man you grow to be a scarecrow, when one word from you would bring your only child back again and with him the wife and sweet grandchild, that you might all enjoy life together!
Well, years after, when I had discarded my passion with my jacket, I have assisted this middle-aged Romeo home from a roystering wine-party, and heard him hiccup out his marital annoyances, with the strangest remembrances of old times, and the strangest deductions therefrom. Did that man with the idiotic laugh and the blurred utterance ever love? Was he ever capable of loving?

On such occasions a man is rarely just to himself, and the intensity of my self-abasement would have satisfied my worst enemy. It didn't console me that the futility of it all was not my blame. I was looking for excuses. It was the facts that cried out against me, and on the facts I had been an idiotic failure.
Then the idiotic and epileptic Smerdakov for Dostoevski must have his idiot and his fits, and they make an effective combination is an absolutely original character out of whose mouth come from time to time the words of truth and soberness.
Were it not for the trivial round and common task of everyday ship duty, some of the crew must become idiotic, or, in sheer rage at the want of interest in their lives, commit mutiny. Such a weary time was ours for full four weeks after sighting Christmas Island.
