Anna Karenina
"There are people who when they meet a rival, no matter in what, at once shut their eyes to everything good in him and see only the bad. There are others who on the contrary try to discern in a lucky rival the qualities which have enabled him to succeed, and with aching hearts seek only the good in him."

Anna Karenina
"For him the problem was this: ‘If I do not accept the answers Christianity gives to the questions of my life, what answers do I accept?’ And in the whole arsenal of his convictions he failed to find not only any kind of answer but anything resembling an answer."
