Even the violent entered the Kingdom of God, for this kingdom is prepared for those people who cannot be humble, because it contradicts their nature, nor are they blessed are the poor in spirit, nor are they simple and meek – as Christ names those categories who have the way prepared to heaven and priori – that there is also a prepared way for those who literally break in like a car when it crashes through a wall... The violent will also get there. And for them, the heavens are prepared, that is, the objective world of Christian heavens...
(Bohumil Hrabal /1914–1997/,
introduction to the Advent sermon delivered at the Evangelical Parsonage in Libice nad Cidlinou, December 20, 1981)
