“In the experimental sciences, what we know we call the laws of inevitability, what is unknown to us we call vital force. Vital force is only an expression of the unknown remainder over and above what we know of the essence of knife. So also in history what is known to us we call laws of inevitability, what is unknown we call freewill. Freewill is for history only an expression for the unknown remainder of what we know about the laws of human life.”
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

“Kutúzov like all old people did not sleep much at night. He often fell asleep unexpectedly in the daytime, but at night, lying on his bed without undressing, he generally remained awake thinking.”
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

“Capital is dead labour, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.”

“We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.”
