QUOTE : It’s not in the nature of experienced and intelligent people to precipitately form an opinion in the instant that they are faced with something. They examine the object or the problem in depth, looking at it from this side and that before proclaiming its faults or its advantages. However, there is another type of persons who act exactly in the opposite way, they do not have the patience to think for very long about anything. No sooner that something comes into their ken, they know instantly that it is good or it is bad, scrutiny is too much of an effort for them, and logic is replaced with a sort of blind faith. For these people, if fate is kind, the highest success is theirs; if luck is against them, they descend to the darkest depths of life, and there they lie like stones, blind to light and hope. To this latter class of people belonged Devdas.
