Leo Tolstoy
“You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine love.”
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

George Eliot
“Strange, that some of us, with quick alternative vision, see beyond our infatuations, and even while we rave on the heights, behold the wide plain where our persistent self pauses and awaits us.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

George Eliot
“but very little achievement is required in order to pity another man's shortcomings.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I think everyone must love life more than anything else in the world.'
'Love life more than the meaning of it?'
'Yes, certainly. Love it regardless of logic, as you say. Yes, most certainly regardless of logic, for only then will I grasp its meaning. That's what I've been vaguely aware of for a long time. Half your work is done, Ivan: you love life. Now you must try to do the second half and you are saved.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

George Eliot
“Our passions do not live apart in locked chambers, but, dressed in their small wardrobe of notions, bring their provisions to a common table and mess together, feeding out of the common store according to their appetite.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch
