Oh, yes, we shall be in chains and there will be no freedom, but then, in our great sorrow, we shall rise again to joy, without which man cannot live nor God exist, for God gives joy : it’s His privilege—a grand one. Ah, man should be dissolved in prayer ! What should I be underground there without God Rakitin’s laughing! If they drive Godfrom the earth, we shall shelter Him underground. One cannot exist in prison without God; it’s even more impossible than out of prison. And then we men underground will sing from the bowels of the earth a glorious hymn to God, with Whom is joy. Hail to God and His joy! I love Him! ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
