Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
The life of which I am aware is by no means the life of my "I". I am an illusion necessary for this life, and the illusion is like the forest, the scaffolding, the work tools. But it's not work. On the contrary, the transfer of interest to the "I" destroys, stops the work. And work brings not only benefit and good, but also joy. What does it consist of? It is not given to us to know it to the end, but in part, as much as it is necessary, it can be seen. Real work is where you do the right thing, but not for yourself.

Viață a cărei conștiința o am nu e nicidecum viața „eului“ meu. Eu sunt o iluzie necesara acestei vieti, iar iluzia este asemenea pădurii, schelelor, uneltelor de muncă. Dar nu e munca. Dimpotrivă, transferarea interesului asupra „eului“ distruge, oprește munca. Iar munca nu aduce numai folos și bine, ci și bucurie. În ce consta ea? Nu ne e dat s-o știm până la capăt, dar în parte, atât cât trebuie, se vede. Munca adevărată e cea în care faci ce trebuie, dar nu pentru tine.
