“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

“I do value my work awfully; but in reality only consider this: all this world of ours is nothing but a speck of mildew, which has grown up on a tiny planet. And for us to suppose we can have something great - ideas, work - it's all dust and ashes.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“No one is satisfied with his position, but every one is satisfied with his wit”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“Then he thought himself unhappy, but happiness was all in the future; now he felt that the best happiness was already in the past.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
