I'm re-reading this, and MAN it is so TOLSTOYish. I know that's kind of obvious, but yikes.

Quotes
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. A handsome woman talks nonsense, you listen and hear not nonsense but cleverness. She says and does horrid things, and you see only charm. And if a handsome woman does not say stupid or horrid things, you at once persuade yourself that she is wonderfully clever and moral.Quoted on February 9, 2016
In the city the wretched feel less sad. One can live there a hundred years without being noticed, and be dead a long time before anybody will notice it.Quoted on February 9, 2016
