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.

Only those live who do good.

Read less, study less, but think more

I ask one thing: I ask the right to hope and suffer as I do now." Vronsky

Act as if you are, and you will become such.
