Life did not stop, and one had to live. - Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

"He is not apprehended by reason, but by life."

"It's all God's will: you can die in your sleep, and God can spare you in battle."

"Man cannot possess anything as long as he fears death. But to him who does not fear it, everything belongs. If there was no suffering, man would not know his limits, would not know himself."

"We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom."

"There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth."
