Finishing up my paper on Crime and Punishment. After four years in college, I can't believe that quotes like this one strike me profoundly:
"Dostoevsky does not claim to escape from the underground. To the contrary, he plunges into it so profoundly that his light comes to him from the other side. 'It is not as a child that I believe in Christ and confess him. It is through the crucible of doubt that my Hosanna has passed.'"
But I've come to realize that this is why Dostoevsky resonates with me.
Christ in all things: in certainty and in doubt.
