Leo Tolstoy
“The old oak, utterly transformed, draped in a tent of sappy dark green, basked faintly, undulating in the rays of the evening sun. Of the knotted fingers, the gnarled excrecenses, the aged grief and mistrust- nothing was to be seen. Through the rough, century-old bark, where there were no twigs, leaves had burst out so sappy, so young, that is was hard to believe that the aged creature had borne them. "Yes, that is the same tree," thought Prince Andrey, and all at once there came upon him an irrational, spring feeling of joy and renewal. All the best moments of his life rose to his memory at once. Austerlitz, with that lofty sky, and the dead, reproachful face of his wife, and Pierre on the ferry, and the girl, thrilled by the beauty of the night, and that night and that moon- it all rushed at once into his mind.”
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“Should we wrap it all up and simply say that they arrested the innocent? But we omitted saying that the very concept of guilt had been repealed by the proletarian revolution and, at the beginning of the thirties, was defined as rightist opportunism! So we can't even discuss these out-of-date concepts, guilt and innocence.”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

Tish Harrison Warren
“Everyone wants a revolution. No one wants to do the dishes.”
Tish Harrison Warren, Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life

Tom Clancy
“A conscience is the price of morality, and morality is the price of civilization.”
Tom Clancy, Patriot Games

Tom Clancy
“You can act like a policeman or a soldier, but not both.”
Tom Clancy, Patriot Games
