About this Quote

This quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky talks to the intricacy of charm and its power to both mesmerize and damage. It suggests that charm is a force that can be both great and bad, and that it is a battlefield in between God and the devil. The battleground is the heart of man, recommending that charm can be a source of both pleasure and suffering. It can bring us closer to God, or it can lead us astray. It can be a source of motivation and hope, or it can be a source of destruction and anguish. Eventually, charm is a strange and effective force that can be used for both good and wicked, and it is up to us to decide how we utilize it.
