Citations sur les hommes et les garçons de Léon Tolstoï
Виконт был миловидный, с мягкими чертами и приемами, молодой человек, очевидно считавший себя знаменитостью, но, по благовоспитанности, скромно предоставлявший пользоваться собой тому обществу, в котором он находился. Анна Павловна, очевидно, угощала им своих гостей. Как хороший метрд`отель подает как нечто сверхъестественно-прекрасное тот кусок говядины, который есть не захочется, если увидать его в грязной кухне, так в нынешний вечер Анна Павловна сервировала своим гостям сначала виконта, потом аббата, как что-то сверхъестественно утонченное. [...] виконт был подан обществу в самом изящном и выгодном для него свете, как ростбиф на горячем блюде, посыпанный зеленью.

“He who exalts himself shall be humbled; and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.”
(Matthew 23:12) The person who exalts himself … will be humbled, because a person who considers himself to be good, intelligent, and kind will not even try to become better, smarter, kinder. The humble person will be exalted, because he considers himself bad and will try to become better, kinder, and more reasonable.

Worst of all, I felt that every day that passed riveted another link to the chain of habit which was binding our life into a fixed shape, that our emotions, ceasing to be spontaneous, were being subordinated to the even, passionless flow of time… ‘It’s all very well … ‘ I thought, ‘it’s all very well to do good and lead upright lives, as he says, but we’ll have plenty of time for that later, and there are other things for which the time is now or never.’ I wanted, not what I had got, but a life of challenge; I wanted feeling to guide us in life, and not life to guide us in feeling.
