Though hundreds of thousands had done their very best to disfigure the small piece of land on which they were crowded together, by paving the ground with stones, scraping away every vestige of vegetation, cutting down the trees, turning away birds and beasts, and filling the air with the smoke of naphtha and coal, still spring was spring, even in the town.
Narration · Leo Tolstoy, Resurrection (1899), Book I, Chapter I, translated by Louise Maude
You've got pleasure out of me in this life, and want to save yourself through me in the life to come.
Maslova, to Nekhlyudov · Leo Tolstoy, Resurrection (1899), Book I, Chapter XLVIII, translated by Louise Maude

Nekhlyudov, to Maslova · Leo Tolstoy, Resurrection (1899), Book I, Chapter XLVIII, translated by Louise Maude
What have I to consider? Where Valdemar Simonson goes, there I shall follow.
Maslova, to Nekhlyudov · Leo Tolstoy, Resurrection (1899), Book III, Chapter XXV, translated by Louise Maude
And a perfectly new life dawned that night for Nekhludoff, not because he had entered into new conditions of life, but because everything he did after that night had a new and quite different significance than before. How this new period of his life will end time alone will prove.
Narration · Leo Tolstoy, Resurrection (1899), Book III, Chapter XXVIII, translated by Louise Maude
