Maria Reva
“The internat had taught her well: as soon as you want something, you lack it; and if you do get it, it can easily be taken away. But this lesson came at a cost—a dry unfeeling clump had formed in her chest, had grown with age. She wonders now: If she slit her skin open, would nothing but sawdust spill out?”
Maria Reva, Good Citizens Need Not Fear: Stories

Leo Tolstoy
“show them, not in reasoning but in life itself, the joy of general union beyond the barriers set up by life itself”
Leo Tolstoy, What Is Art?
