“One prays for life , life means free choice and freedom is mystery . If one knew the truth how could there be freedom”
― Issac Bashevis Singer

“Where did I get it from? Was it by reason that I attained to the knowledge that I must love my neighbour and not throttle him? They told me so when I was a child, and I gladly believed it, because they told me what was already in my soul. But who discovered it? Not reason! Reason has discovered the struggle for existence and the law that I must throttle all those who hinder the satisfaction of my desires. That is the deduction reason makes. But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“If you believe in God, then He exists.”
― Isaac Bashevis Singer

“History, that is, the unconscious, common, swarm life of mankind uses every moment of the life of kings as an instrument for its own ends”
― Tolstoy Leo
