Day 192 - Quotes

Watercolor - still working on it.

Two of my favorite quotes from Tolstoy's War and Peace:

* Love hinders death. Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
o Thoughts of Prince Andrew Bk XII, Ch. 16

This one really made me think:

* To love life is to love God. Harder and more blessed than all else is to love this life in one's sufferings, in undeserved sufferings.
o Bk. XIV, ch. 15
