Leo Tolstoy
“Loving the same man or woman all your life, why, that's like supposing the same candle could last you all your life”
Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata

Leo Tolstoy
“Always the same. Now a spark of hope flashes up, then a sea of despair rages, and always pain; always pain, always despair, and always the same. When alone he had a dreadful and distressing desire to call someone, but he knew beforehand that with others present it would be still worse.”
Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych

Ariana Brown
“[our various selves] are all names we wear. Until we don't.”
Ariana Brown

George Orwell
“[Tolstoy] does not necessarily get rid of [his angry] temperament by undergoing religious conversion, and indeed it is obvious that the illusion of having been reborn may allow one's native vices to flourish more freely than ever, though perhaps in subtler forms.”
George Orwell

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Grant me one hour on love’s most sacred shores
To clasp the bosom that my soul adores,
Lie heart to heart and merge my soul with yours.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust, First Part
