    Leo Tolstoy
    “I already love in you your beauty, but I am only beginning to love in you that which is eternal and ever precious – your heart, your soul.

Believe me, nothing on earth is given without labour, even love, the most beautiful and natural of feelings,But the more difficult the labour and hardship, the higher the reward,”

    Count Leo Tolstoi to Valeria Arsenev, his fiance. November 2, 1856”
