“Is there in the whole world a being who would have the right to forgive and could forgive? I don't want harmony. From love for humanity I don't want it.

Besides, too high a price is asked for harmony; it's beyond our means to pay so much to enter on it.

It's not God that I don't accept, Alyosha, only I most respectfully return him the ticket.”

What you have with Maria, whether it lasts just through today and a part of tomorrow, or whether it lasts for a long life is the most important thing that can happen to a human being.
