Leo Tolstoy
Grief, Love You, Grieving
Leo Tolstoy (graf) (1902). “Complete works”

But that had been grief--this was joy. Yet that grief and this joy were alike outside all the ordinary conditions of life; they were loopholes, as it were, in that ordinary life through which there came glimpses of something sublime. And in the contemplation of this sublime something the soul was exalted to inconceivable heights of which it had before had no conception, while reason lagged behind, unable to keep up with it.

Leo Tolstoy
Grief, Joy, Soul
Leo Tolstoy (2015). “Anna Karenina”, p.932, Xist Publishing

All the stories and descriptions of that time without exception peak only of the patriotism, self-sacrifice, despair, grief, and heroism of the Russians. But in reality it was not like that...The majority of the people paid no attention to the general course of events but were influenced only by their immediate personal interests.

Leo Tolstoy
Grief, Sacrifice, Reality
