Leo Tolstoy Quotes, Thinking Quotes, Giving Quotes

Don’t you know that you are all my life to me? ...But peace I do not know, and can’t give to you. My whole being, my love...yes! I cannot think about you and about myself separately.

I see the possibility of despair, misfortune...or of happiness-what happiness!...Is it impossible?" Vronksy
