Leo Tolstoy
Man survives earthquakes, epidemics, the horrors of disease, and all the agonies of the soul, but for all time his tormenting tragedy is, and will be, the tragedy of the bedroom.
Leo Tolstoy
If every man could act as he chose, the whole of history would be a tissue of disconnected accidents.
