"I looked more widely around me, I studied the lives of the masses of humanity, and I saw that not two, or three, or ten, but hundreds, thousands, millions, had so understood the meaning of life that they were both able to live and to die. All these men were well acquainted with the meaning of life and death, quietly labored, endured privation and suffering, lived and died, and saw in all this, not a vain, but a good thing." « Leo Tolstoy »
