"And then Christ will say to us, 'you too come forth. Come forth, you drunkards, come forth, you weak ones, come forth you children of shame!’... And He will say to us, 'you are swine, made in the image of the beast and with his mark; but come yet also.' And the wise ones and those of understanding will say, 'Lord, why dost Thou receive these men?' And He will say, 'This is why I receive these O ye wise; this is why I receive them, O ye of understanding, that not one of them believed them to be worthy of this.' And He will hold out His hands to us and we shall fall down before Him... and we shall understand all things... Lord, Thy Kingdom come!"
- Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
