Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
... Our senses receive by feeling, and for feeling we need matter. But at the same time through matter we are separated from Everything. Matter is necessary for our separation. But why not imagine other beings who can receive impressions and who are not separated by matter but by something else. Just as we, living the illusion of matter, do not know, we have no way of knowing these immaterial beings, because we do not know what separates them from Everything, just as they cannot know us and what separates us, the matter that for them does not exist. All these are trifles, but they captivated me because they showed me, as if more meaningfully, that our world is only one of the infinite number of worlds.
