Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
My dear brother, for God's sake, for the sake of your soul, for the sake of your life, do not decide in advance that everything I write here is false, does not correspond to that superior science that you think you possess. For the sake of all that is dear to you, I beseech you: read carefully what is written here, try to understand what is written (as we must always relate to the thoughts and words of another man) in the way they- he who wrote them understood. And if you are unhappy, and I know you are unhappy, think that what is proposed to you here is not invented by me, but is the fruit of the intellectual efforts of all, of the highest human minds and hearts, and is not just reasoning and words empty, but the most practical and surest means of ridding yourself of your unhappiness and bestowing upon yourself the greatest good. Think and feel this.
