Isso não é amor. Eu já estive apaixonado, mas isso não é a mesma coisa. Não se trata de um sentimento meu, mas de uma força exterior que se apoderou de mim. Veja, eu fugi porque decidi que tal coisa não poderia acontecer, entende, como uma felicidade que não pode existir na terra; mas lutei contra mim mesmo e vejo que sem isso não existe vida. ↗

Anna Karenina is sheer perfection as a work of art. No European work of fiction of our present day comes anywhere near it. Furthermore, the idea underlying it shows that it is ours, ours, something that belongs to us alone and that is our own property, our own national 'new word'or, at any rate, the beginning of it. ↗
