I believe this quotation is from the Possessed.

This book is part of the Gutenburg Project of books out of copyright.

If this information is sufficient I can provide this and the other
information I have as an answer.

I can live with a 100% confirmation of quote and book.

Thanks

This is the closest thing I could find, from Dostoevsky's "The Possessed":

"...nothing's easier than cutting off heads, and nothing's harder than
to have an idea."
