 Every one who wants the supreme freedom must dare to kill himself. He who dares to kill himself has found out the secret of the deception. There is no freedom beyond; that is all, and there is nothing beyond. He who dares kill himself is God. Now every one can do so that there shall be no God and shall be nothing. But no one has once done it yet.”
 
“There have been millions of suicides.”
 
“But always not for that; always with terror and not for that object. Not to kill fear. He who kills himself only to kill fear will become a god at once.”

 The possessed by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky considered Kirillov the Antichrist; he died to prove the integrity of death, Christ died to prove the integrity of life.  His was the precipice of rationalism, what he had was the perfect ivory tower to jump from.

 He  died? Did he died as the modern internet says))) He commited suicide isn't it more correct or?
