Only those who are capable of loving deeply are also capable of experiencing great pain.Leo Tolstoy
One of the famous quotes by Tolstoy, the Russian novelist and thinker who represents Russian literature.
The words he left behind are closer to those of a philosopher than a novelist.
He says that the great pain you feel now is a wonderful pain earned precisely because you truly loved the other person.
To approach your next love with confidence, you should give yourself some praise.
Only those who are capable of loving deeply are also capable of experiencing great pain.Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy
Tolstoy was a Russian novelist born in 1828.
His major works include War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and Resurrection.
In particular, Anna Karenina is a masterpiece among masterpieces, a story in which the beautiful married woman Anna meets the young aristocratic officer Vronsky and her life spins out of control.
Anna’s way of living honestly according to her heart, even while going against the moral path, is thought-provoking.
He says that receiving much suffering from heartbreak is proof that one loved that deeply.
Realizing that one can value another person so much feels wonderful, and it makes me feel ready to take on the next love.
Tolstoy’s words are truly profound.
There are two ways for a woman to become more beautiful: to fall in love well, and to quit a bad love.Akemi Hamao
These are words of wisdom from Akemi Hamao, a newscaster and essayist.
No matter how much two people like each other, unfortunately, compatibility is a real thing.
We often hear that when a woman is in a good relationship, she becomes more and more beautiful.
Even just ending a painful, unhealthy relationship can be the first step toward a better one—this quote offers that hopeful perspective.
What saves us from love is not so much reason as busyness.Ryūnosuke Akutagawa
Ryunosuke Akutagawa, born in 1892, is one of Japan’s most representative novelists.
His works, such as Rashomon, The Nose, and The Spider’s Thread, are included in language arts textbooks in compulsory education, so he’s surely a writer whose name everyone knows.
His portrait—wearing a nihilistic smile and looking every bit the cultivated intellectual—is also famous.
Akutagawa said that “being busy” is what saves us.
When you’re feeling down, why not try a new challenge through work or a hobby?
Isn’t it fine if you suffer a lot? The world isn’t that easy, you know.Hiromitsu Ochiai
A quote by Hiromitsu Ochiai, a former professional baseball player and manager.
He left a remarkable legacy in the baseball world, and as shown in the video, he also left behind many memorable sayings.
The worldview he cultivated through baseball is one of a kind, and these are words that only someone like him—who has experienced hardship—can truly say.
I’m not interested in the fact that you fell down. I’m interested in whether you get back up.Abraham Lincoln
