Leo Tolstoy
“It occurred to him that he had not spent his life as he should have done. It occurred to him that his scarcely perceptible attempts to struggle against what was considered good by the most highly placed people, those scarcely noticeable impulses which he had immediately suppressed, might have been the real thing, and all the rest false. And his professional duties and the whole arrangement of his life and of his family, and all his social and official interests, might all have been false.”
Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych

C.S. Lewis
“We may give our human loves the unconditional allegiance which we owe only to God. Then they become gods: then they become demons. Then they will destroy us, and also destroy themselves. For natural loves that are allowed to become gods do not remain loves. They are still called so, but can become in fact complicated forms of hatred.”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

G.K. Chesterton
“The point is not that this world is too sad to love or too glad not to love; the point is that when you do love a thing, its gladness is a reason for loving it, and its sadness a reason for loving it more.”
G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

G.K. Chesterton
“the human intellect is free to destroy itself.”
G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

Leo Tolstoy
“Can it be that I have not lived as one ought?" suddenly came into his head. "But how not so, when I've done everything as it should be done?”
Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych
