If goodness has causes, it is not goodness; if it has effect... - Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
"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."
"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."
"It's hard to love a woman and do anything."
"There are no conditions to which a person cannot grow accustomed, especially if he sees that everyone around him lives in the same way."
"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."
"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."
"If you love me as you say you do,' she whispered, 'make it so that I am at peace."
