They've got no idea what happiness is, they don't know that... - Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

"There are no conditions to which a person cannot grow accustomed, especially if he sees that everyone around him lives in the same way."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."
