To tell the truth is very difficult, and young people are ra... - Leo Tolstoy

"To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it."

"True life is lived when tiny changes occur."

"Whatever we may say about the soul going to the sky... we know there is no sky but only an atmosphere."

"A writer is dear and necessary for us only in the measure of which he reveals to us the inner workings of his very soul."

"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."
