Infamous, I haven't been able to find this quote anywhere... except on this site. Are you sure he said that, it does sound like Leo Tolstoy, but I'm at a loss as to where to find this particular quote.

I learned this quote in a literature class in college. I think it came from "War and Peace", it's been many years ago and I'm not really sure where I read this or if possibly the instructor may have quoted it from another work. Maybe from " Death of Ivan Ilyich", not sure about the spelling for Ilyich. The more I think about it I'm sure now that it came from either one of these two works. BTW, thanks for the affirmative comments about my signature, they were most appreciated.
