“I ask only one thing: I ask the right to hope and suffer as I do now; but if even that is impossible, command me to disappear and I will do it.

“No, pardon me, I consider myself and people like me aristocrats: people who can point back to three or four honourable generations of their family, all with a high standard of education (talent and intelligence are a different matter), who have never cringed before anyone, never depended on anyone, but have lived as my father and my grandfather did. I know many such. You consider it mean for me to count the trees in my wood while you give Ryabinin thirty thousand roubles; but you will receive a Goernment grant and I don't know what other award, and I shan't, so I value what is mine by birth and labour... We - and not those who only manage to exist by the bounty of the mighty of this world, and who can be bought for a piece of silver - are the aristocrats.
-Levin”
― Lev Tolstoy

“Sự sống nảy sinh từ cái chết, hạnh phúc hiện hình từ trong những hy sinh, gian khổ, ở đời này không có con đường cùng, chỉ có những ranh giới, điều cốt yếu là phải có sức mạnh để bước qua những ranh giới ấy.
~ 'Mùa Lạc”
― Nguyễn Khải
