Leo Tolstoy Quotes

He Was Very Well Aware That He Ran No Risk Of Being Ridiculous In The Eyes Of Betsy Or Any Other Fashionable People. He Was Very Well Aware That In Their Eyes The Position Of An Unsuccessful Lover Of A Girl, Or Of Any Woman Free To Marry, Might Be Ridiculous. But The Position Of A Man Pursuing A Married Woman, And, Staking His Life On Drawing Her Into Adultery, Has Something Fine And Grand About It, And Can Never Be Ridiculous; And So It Was With A Proud And Gay Smile Under His Mustaches That He Lowered The Opera Glass And Looked At His Cousin.
