Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy
"this surprises us when it is the case of thieves bragging of their skill, prostitutes flaunting their depravity or murderers boasting of their cruelty. But it surprises us only because their numbers are limited and - this is the point - we live in a different atmosphere. But can we not observe the same phenomenon when the rich boast of their wealth, i.e. of robbery; when commanders of armies pride themselves on their victories, i.e. on murder; and when those in high places vaunt their power - their brute force? we do not see that their ideas of life and of good and evil are corrupt and inspired by a necessity to justify their position, only because the circle of people with such corrupt ideas is a larger one and we belong to it ourselves."
"Celibates, according to him, were like phagocytes, whose mission it is to strengthen the weak, diseased parts of the organism... He regarded himself now, and also Marya Pavlovna, as phagocytes in the body of the universe."
"There were some among them who had turned revolutionary because they honestly considered it their duty to fight the evils of their time; but there were others who chose this activity from selfish, ambitious motives. The majority, however, had been attracted to revolutionary ideas by a thirst for danger, for risk, and the exhilaration of gambling with one's life - feelings which... are quite common to the most ordinary people while they are young and full of energy."
"There be different religions just because people believe in other people, and don't believe in themselves. When i used to believe in other men I wandered about like I was in a swamp. I got so lost, I never thought I'd find me way out... Every faith praises itself up only. An' so they all crawl about in different directions like blind puppies. Many faiths there be, but the Spirit is one. In you, an' in me, an' in 'im. That means, if every many of us believes in the Spirit within 'im, us'll all be united. Let everyone be 'imself, and us'll all be as one."
