“…he could not rid himself of the thought that death would resolve at a stroke all the difficulty of his situation.” alrightttt Alexi

When Kitty had gone and Levin was left alone, he felt such anxiety without her and such an impatient desire to live quickly, the more quickly, till tomorrow morning, when he would see her again and be united with her for ever, that he became afraid, as of death, of those fourteen hours that he had to spend without her. He absolutely had to be with and talk to someone, so as not to remain alone, so as to cheat time.

“This child with his naïve outlook on life was the compass which showed them the degree of their departure from what they knew but did
not want to know.”

Tolstoy continues to write such tight punchy passages

“And what happened? Now that years have passed, I remember it and wonder how it could have upset me. It will be the same with this grief. Time will pass, and I'll grow indifferent to it.”

To follow this with three months have passed and he’s still not over it is too funny

“All these traces of his life seemed to seize hold of him and say to him: 'No, you won't escape us and be different, you'll be the same as you were: with doubts, an eternal dissatisfaction with yourself, vain attempts to improve, and failures, and an eternal expectation of the happiness that has eluded you and is not possible for you.’”

This does tend to happen when you think about communism.

Maybe my one million Murakami related books will curtail the disparity between the amount of books I have read, and the amount of books I stated I will read.

Big fan of the brevity of chapters, it’s become my nightly routine to read 1-2 chapters before going to bed.
