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

"Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them."

"People of limited intelligence are fond of talking about "these days,"imagining that they have discovered and appraised the peculiarities of "these days"and that human nature changes with the times."

"Boredom: the desire for desires."

"In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you."

"All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love."
