Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky

[to Jesus] You did not come down from the cross when they shouted to you, mocking and reviling you: "Come down from the cross and we will believe that it is you. " You did not come down because, again, you did not want to enslave man by a miracle and thirsted for faith that is free, not miraculous. . . I swear, man is created weaker and baser than you thought him! How, how can he ever accomplish the same things as you?. . . Respecting him less, you would have demanded less of him, and that would be closer to love, for his burden would be lighter.
