Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

"Love those you hate you."

"And where love ends, hate begins"

"I'm like a starving man who has been given food. Maybe he's cold, and his clothes are torn, and he's ashamed, but he's not unhappy."

"We walked to meet each other up at the time of our love and then we have been irresistibly drifting in different directions, and there's no altering that."

"I've always loved you, and when you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be."

"If goodness has causes, it is not goodness; if it has effects, a reward, it is not goodness either. So goodness is outside the chain of cause and effect."

"Without knowledge of what I am and why I am here, it is impossible to live, and since I cannot know that, I cannot live either. In an infinity of time, in an infinity of matter, and an infinity of space a bubble-organism emerges while will exist for a little time and then burst, and that bubble am I."

"It's hard to love a woman and do anything."

"To educate the peasantry, three things are needed: schools, schools and schools."

"They've got no idea what happiness is, they don't know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us--there is no life."

"And you know, there's less charm in life when you think about death--but it's more peaceful."

"If you look for perfection, you'll never be content."

"Rummaging in our souls, we often dig up something that ought to have lain there unnoticed."

"And you know, there's less charm in life when you think about death--but it's more peaceful."

"Love those you hate you."

"Without the support from religion--remember, we talked about it--no father, using only his own resources, would be able to bring up a child."

"I think... if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts."

"Without knowledge of what I am and why I am here, it is impossible to live, and since I cannot know that, I cannot live either. In an infinity of time, in an infinity of matter, and an infinity of space a bubble-organism emerges while will exist for a little time and then burst, and that bubble am I."

"I think... if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts."

"Love. The reason I dislike that word is that it means too much for me, far more than you can understand."- Anna Karenina {Anna Karenina}"
