The Kreutzer Sonata
Just picked up for a re-read between other books. It's tolstoy still!

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

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
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.
