Incivility and procrastination
8 August 2010 • out of context
“Si uno empieza por permitirse un asesinato, pronto no le da importancia a robar, del robo pasa a la bebida y a la inobservacia del día del Señor, y se acaba por faltar a la buena educación y por dejar las cosas para el día siguiente”.
Del asesinato considerado como una de las bellas artes, Thomas De Quincey. Alianza editorial
“For if once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination.”
Second Paper on Murder, Considered as One of the Fine Arts by Thomas de Quincey
