"There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind."

" There was NO NEED for her to ask him WHYY he was there. She KNEEWWW as well as if he had TOLD her, that he was there IN ORDER TO BE WHERE she was. "

Excerpt from Anna Karenina

Train journey of Vronsky to Petersburg in Part 1

"Vronsky did not even try to sleep that night.....and if previously his appearance of imperturbable calm had struck and annoyed those who did not know him, he now seemed to them even prouder and more self-confident. He looked at people as if they were inanimate things. A nervous young man, a law court official, who sat opposite, hated him for that look. The young man repeatedly lit his cigarette at Vronsky's, talked to him, and even jostled him to prove that he was not a thing but a man. Yet Vronsky still looked at him as at a street lamp, and the young man made grimaces, feeling that he was losing self-control under the stress of this refusal to regard him as human."

What I basically want.

[wideeyedbitterfly]

The making of Levin

"He felt that he was himself and did not wish to be anyone else. He only wished now to be better than he had been formerly.

First of all, he decided that he would no longer hope for the exceptional happiness which marriage was to have given him, and consequently he would not underrate the present, as he had done. Secondly, he would never again allow himself to be carried away by passion..

Then, remembering his brother Nicholas.......his brother's talk about communism, which he had taken lightly at the time, now made him think.

He considered an entire change of economic conditions nonsense, but he had always felt the injustice of his superfluities compared with the peasants' poverty, and now decided, in order to feel himself quite justified, that though he had always worked hard and lived simply, he would in future work still more and allow himself still less luxury. And it all seemed to him so easy to carry out that he was in a pleasant reverie the whole way home. And it was with cheerful hopes for a new and better life that he reached his house towards nine o'clock in the evening."

" She put both her hands on his shoulders and gazed at him long, with a deep look of ecstasy and yet searchingly. She scrutinized his face to make up for the time she had not seen him. She compared, as she did at every interview with him, the image her fancy painted of him with his real self. "

Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
