grey hair

This is a tragedy.

Just like in fairy tales, no one dares to think about the life after the princess and the prince are together.
It's already something we can't dream of living together forever and ever.
But the gray hair tips are still painfully entangled. There can be quarrels and disappointments.
Because as long as there is love, there is no desire for it, and this is the source of entanglement.

Tolstoy's last stop was poignant.
He is the poster child for excessive introspection.
Because to be a great man, or others want him to be a great man, he is far from the basic happiness of being a human being.

"To love and to be loved is the only truth of life."
He himself and his disciples had forgotten this sentence.

    Your youth and your desire for happiness cruelly remind me of my age and the impossibility of happiness for me.

    Even if you become a community with a shared future, you have the right to disagree, because the one who truly has no reservations about you is always the one who loves you the most. Freedom and love are the greatest beliefs.

The Last Station quotes

  • Valentin: Love and be loved. That's the only reality there is in the world.

    Masha: He said that?

    Valentin: Yes, Tolstoy said it, but l'm saying it.

  • Leo Tolstoy: "Your youth and your desire for happiness reminds me cruelly of my age and the impossibility of happiness for me." When I was courting Sofya, she was so young and pure, it seemed impossible that I'd ever have her. I didn't want to tell her how I felt and I wanted to tell her nothing else. So I wrote down a string of letters and asked her if she could decipher them. She looked completely confused, thinking it was a game or... I gave her one clue. The firs two Y's, I said, stand for "your youth" and then the most miraculous thing happened. She simply spoke the phrase, my phrase as if she had read my mind. In that moment, we both knew we would always be together. For those first years, we were incredibly happy, terrifyingly happy.
