That is one of my favorite books and I really wish you would stop misrepresenting it with that misleading quotation. Yes, he was conservative, especially religiously. He was way out there on the right, further than some of his literary fans would like to think. But he never thought any of us want to be slaves. His prototypical characters were wild crazy Russians, like himself.

It seems like every winter I have the urge to reread Dosto(y)evsky. This year it's not going to be "The Brothers Karamazov," it's going to be "Crime and Punishment." If you haven't read it, it's much easier going than you might think. Nothing in it is heavy sledding like "The Grand Inquisitor" portion of Karamazov. Be sure to get the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation.
