Leo Tolstoy by Repin
Love hinders death.
Love is life.
All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.
Everything is, everything exists, only because I love.
Everything is united by it alone.
Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
– Leo Tolstoy
