Geir Kjetsaa Quote

I believe that nothing is more beautiful, profound, sympathetic, reasonable, brave, and perfect than Christ. With jealous love, I say to myself, not only that his equal cannot be found, but that it does not exist. And more, if someone should bring me proof that Christ is outside the truth, then I should prefer to remain with Christ than with the truth.[Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Letter to Natalya Fonvizina, soon after his release from Siberia. cf. , Pt.2, Ch.I.vii]
