"Fear nothing and never be afraid; and don’t fret. If only your penitence fail not, God will forgive all. There is no sin, and there can be no sin on all the earth, which the Lord will not forgive to the truly repentant! Man cannot commit a sin so great as to exhaust the infinite love of God. Can there be a sin which could exceed the love of God? Think only of repentance, continual repentance, but dismiss fear altogether. Believe that God loves you as you cannot conceive; that He loves you with your sin, in your sin. It has been said of old that over one repentant sinner there is more joy in heaven than over ten righteous men. Go, and fear not."
-Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

A Quote on the Beauty of Christ
"I believe there is nothing lovelier, more sympathetic, and more perfect than the Savior; there is in the world only one figure of absolute beauty: Christ. That infinitely lovely figure is...an infinite marvel."
-Fyodor Dostoevsky
