Tolstoy said, 'The antagonism between life and conscience may be removed either by a change of life or by a change of conscience.'

They were not unfortunate girls who, as outcasts or in the belief that they were cast out by society, grieved wholesomely and intensely and, once in a while at times when the heart was too full, ventilated it in hate or forgiveness. No visible change took place in them; they lived in the accustomed context, were respected as always, and yet they were changed, almost unaccountably to themselves and incomprehensibly to others. Their lives were not cracked or broken, as others' were, but were bent into themselves; lost to others, they futilely sought to find themselves. ↗

It's not what I can do; it's what I will do. If you wake up and try to help one person and change that person's life, every obstacle you face in front of you is worth it. ↗

To-day the woman is Mrs. Richard Roe, to-morrow Mrs. John Doe, and again Mrs. James Smith according as she changes masters, and she has so little self-respect that she does not see the insult of the custom. ↗

One way or another, I think we are all destined to learn the same lessons in life. Universal truths are universal truths. They cannot be changed.  ↗
