Leo Tolstoy Quotes

To A Herd Of Rams, The Ram The Herdsman Drives Each Evening Into A Special Enclosure To Feed And That Becomes Twice As Fat As The Others Must Seem To Be A Genius. And It Must Appear An Astonishing Conjunction Of Genius With A Whole Series Of Extraordinary Chances That This Ram, Who Instead Of Getting Into The General Fold Every Evening Goes Into A Special Enclosure Where There Are Oats - That This Very Ram, Swelling With Fat, Is Killed For Meat. But The Rams Need Only Cease To Suppose That All That Happens To Them Happens Solely For The Attainment Of Their Sheepish Aims; They Need Only Admit That What Happens To Them May Also Have Purposes Beyond Their Ken, And They Will At Once Perceive A Unity And Coherence In What Happened To The Ram That Was Fattened. Even If They Do Not Know For What Purpose They Are Fattened, They Will At Least Know That All That Happened To The Ram Did Not Happen Accidentally, And Will No Longer Need The Conceptions Of Chance Or Genius.
