Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy

Teach French and unteach sincerity.
All happy families resemble each other, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
The Lord had given them the day and the Lord had given them the strength. And the day and the strength had been dedicated to labor, and the labor was its reward. Who was the labor for? What would be its fruits? These were irrelevant and idle questions.
The role of the disappointed lover of a maiden or of any single woman might be ridiculous; but the role of a man who was pursuing a married woman, and who made it the purpose of his life at all cost to draw her into adultery, was one which had in it something beautiful and dignified and could never be ridiculous.
But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.
Spring is the time of plans and projects.
Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be.
