"The destiny of the greatness is the suffering, both from the outside world and from the inside. It has been like that and it'll always be. The world is so that you can't give anything if not paying it with suffering and persecution. The more the gift is unselfish, the more the persecutions will be cruel and the sufferings will be terrible. This is the law of the life, the axiom... For the own gift, the greatness, it's necessary to pay with the blood."
(P.A.Florenskij)
