Quote by Leo Tolstoy

“Và dường như mang trên người tất cả vẻ hào hoa của đêm tiếp tân, Elen đến cạnh Anna Pavlovna.

“Wrinkles are devastating for women! A quite undeserved punishment! Because no woman deserves a wrinkled face. Wrinkles should be hidden in the heart, or perhaps not, perhaps not even in your heart, because wrinkles there might be fatal and we ought not to die, though we might as well, because when a woman has wrinkles she's already half dead, and couldn't care less if she died.”
