"Men reject their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and honor those they have slain"
"It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt"
"Beauty is a terrible and awful thing! It is terrible because it has not been fathomed, for God sets us nothing but riddles. Here the boundaries meet and all contradictions exist side by side"
"Imagine that you are creating a fabric of human destiny with the object of making men happy in the end ... but that it was essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny creature ... And to found that edifice on its unavenged tears: would you consent to be the architect on those conditions? Tell me, and tell me the truth!"
... The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky
