| Notes | ['Author: Fyodor Dostoyevsky\r\n\r\nWhen father Fyodor Pavlovich makes a scene at the Monastery, and tells an anecdote on the subject of Diderot that didn\'t actually take place:\r\n\r\n"Do you know the story, most holy Father, of how the philosophe Diderot appeared before the Metropolitan Platon in the reign of Catherine the Great? He went in and told him straight: "There is no God." Upon which the great hierarch raised his finger and replied: "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." Without further ado, Diderot fell down at his feet: "I believe," he cried, "and will accept baptism." And so he was baptized right then and there. Princess Dashkova was his godmother, and Potyomkin his godfather…" (ed. Penguin: pp.59-60)'] |
