“Sensuality is a storm, more than a storm! … here God gave us only riddles. Here the shores converge, here all contradictions live together. Too many riddles oppress man on earth. Solve them if you can without getting your feet wet. . . . The terrible thing is that beauty is not only fearful but also mysterious. Here the devil is struggling with God, and the battleground is the human heart.”
Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov, spoken by Dmitri Karamazov.
