“In historical events great men-so called-are but the labels that serve to give a mane to an event, and like labels, they have the last possible connection with the event itself. Every action of theirs, that seems to them an act of their own free will, is in an historical sense not free at all, but in bondage to the whole course of previous history, and predestined from all eternity.”
― Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi

“Love is just a trick invented by men so they don’t have to do their own laundry!”
― Joël Dicker, The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair
