Lev Tolstoj

“,,Sa stvarima možeš postupati bez ljubavi: možeš obarati drveće, praviti opeke, kovati željezo bez ljubavi, ali s ljudima ne smiješ postupati bez ljubavi, isto kao što pčelama ne smiješ postupati bez opreznosti”.”
― Tolstoj

“Do you ever get that feeling,' said Natasha to her brother once they were settled in the sitting-room, 'that nothing's ever going to happen to you again, nothing at all, and anything good is in the past? And you don't feel bored exactly, but very, very sad?'

'I'll say!' he replied. 'It's happened to me. Everything's fine, every one's happy, and suddenly you get this feeling of being fed up.”
― Lev Tolstoj, War and Peace
