a few more excerpts from anna karenina because i physically cannot take this book;
‘it was unpleasant for her to read, that is, to follow the reflection of other people’s lives. she wanted too much to live herself.’
‘if there are as many minds as there are men, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.’
‘she knew he had a heart, and because of this she was afraid of him.’
and my personal favorite, which has murdered me in every possible way, ‘he kissed his palm in the place where she had touched him.’
