Leo Tolstoy
“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

Isaac Bashevis Singer
“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

Boris Pasternak
“It's only in bad novels that people are divided into two camps and have nothing to do with each other. In real life everything gets mixed up! Don't you think you'd have to be a hopeless nonentity to play only one role all your life, to have only one place in society, always to stand for the same thing?--Ah, there you are!"
- Larissa Fyodorovna in Doctor Zhivago.”
Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago

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

C.G. Jung
“We are always human and we should never forget the burden of being only human”
