“Now I’m going to tell you everything. I must get it off my chest. I’ve already told an angel in heaven, now I have to tell an angel on earth, too. You’re my angel on earth. You’ll listen to me, judge me, and forgive me … What I need is— for someone higher than myself to forgive me.”
— Fyodor Dostoevsky, from “The Brothers Karamazov” (via finita–la–commedia)
