Leo Tolstoy

Finished: July 2021

Thoughts

It was very good. The characters were so very relatable, which, considering it's a story set in upper class 19th century Russia, shows how brilliant Tolstoy is.

Quotes

“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”

"He knew so well this feeling of Levin's, knew that for him all the girls in the world were divided into two sorts: one sort was all the girls in the world except her, and these girls had all human weaknesses and were very ordinary girls; the other sort was her alone, with no weaknesses and higher than everything human."

“Love. The reason I dislike that word is that it means too much for me, far more than you can understand."
