Leo Tolstoy Quote
What do you want? What do you want? he repeated to himself. What do I want? To live and not to suffer, he answered. And again he listened with such concentrated attention that even his pain did not distract him. To live? How? asked his inner voice. Why, to live as I used to—well and pleasantly. As you lived before, well and pleasantly? the voice repeated. And in imagination he began to recall the best moments of his pleasant life.
