“I believe like a child that suffering will be healed and made up for, that all the humiliating absurdity of human contradictions will vanish like a pitiful mirage… that in the world’s finale, at the moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts, for the comforting of all resentments… that it will make it not only possible to forgive but to justify all that has happened.”
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky (The Brothers Karamazov)
