More quotes by Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

"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."
"And you know, there's less charm in life when you think about death--but it's more peaceful."
"Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be."
"It's hard to love a woman and do anything."
"If you love me as you say you do,' she whispered, 'make it so that I am at peace."
