“Which is worse? the wolf who cries before eating the lamb or the wolf who does not.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“He was afraid of defiling the love which filled his soul.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
