Leo Tolstoy

“Was it by reason that I attained to the knowledge that I must love my neighbor and not to throttle him?. They told me so when I was a child, and I gladly believed it, because they told me what was already in my soul. But who discovered it? Not reason!

But the law of loving others couldn't be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.”

Leo Tolstoy
