Leo Tolstoy Quotes

And what was worst of all was that *It* drew his attention to itself not in order to make him take some action but only that he should look at *It*, look it straight in the face: look at it and without doing anything, suffer inexpressibly. And to save himself from this condition Ivan Ilych looked for consolations -- new screens -- and new screens were found and for a while seemed to save him, but then they immediately fell to pieces or rather became transparent, as if *It* penetrated them and nothing could veil *It*.

Leo Tolstoy

With fame, you can't trust everybody. You can't depend on them being there for you as a person. They will only be there because of what you've got you as a person.
