"I'm not mutinying against my God, I simply 'do not accept his world'," Alyosha said suddenly with a crooked and ironic smile.Not in so many words, I said this just the other night, only I wasn't smiling.
~~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
What is so ironic and powerful is that the Author puts these words into Alyosha's mouth.
We all know that no one can run and hide from God; the shock comes when you realize you can't run from Dostoyevsky either...in many ways God's messenger.
