“Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.”

Leo Tolstoy

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 could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.”

Leo Tolstoy

And they have given me the St. George's Cross. I can't make it out, I can't make it out!”

Leo Tolstoy
