I'm glad I stuck with this. Here are a few quotes relevant to today:

When desire...is taken as an ethical primary, and gratification...is taken as an ethical goal--men have no choice but to hate, fear and fight one another, because their desires and interests will...clash.

Ethical theory (mystic, social, subjective)...have brought the world to its present state and which represent the morality of death.

Did I mention that Prince Stephan Arkadvevitch Oblansky - Stiva - Dolly’s husband is a poor excuse for a husband? For a prince? A man?

A woman…lives neglected and die’s forgotten…but a man who never performs in his whole life one self-denying act, but who has accidental gifts of genius is celebrated by his contemporaries while his name and his works live on from age to age.

Anna Karenina and Alexey never had a healthy marriage to begin with. Just stating the obvious.
