Leo Tolstoy

"True life is lived when tiny changes occur."

"I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love."

"All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love."

"He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began."

"Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here."
