Tolstoy

Listening to War and Peace on audible. It's been a hot minute ... I appreciate so much more now than I did back in the day. And the humor with which the narrator narrates, well, I laugh. I laughed out loud and have shared it with a young man marrying in October. His older friends see the humor as well. I feel validated.

 

“Never, never marry, my friend. Here’s my advice to you: don’t marry until you can tell yourself that you’ve done all you could, and until you’ve stopped loving the woman you’ve chosen, until you see her clearly, otherwise you’ll be cruelly and irremediably mistaken. Marry when you’re old and good for nothing…Otherwise all that’s good and lofty in you will be lost.”

 

― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

 

Marry when you are old and good for nothing. 🤣
