Változat: All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.
Forrás: War and Peace (1865–1867; 1869)
Kontextus: Love hinders death. Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
