truth；on the side of the thoughts which seem true and
well…founded； or on the side of the lives of others and myself？〃
I； too； was weighed down by that same doubt when writing 〃The
Kreutzer Sonata。〃 I had not the faintest presentiment that the
train of thought I had started would lead me whither it did。 I
was terrified by my own conclusion； and I was at first disposed
to reject it； but it was impossible not to hearken to the voice
of my reason and my conscience。 And so； strange though they may
appear to many； opposed as they undoubtedly are to the trend and
tenor of our lives； and incompatible though they may prove with
what I have heretofore thought and uttered； I have no choice but
to accept them。 〃But man is weak；〃 people will object。 〃His
task should be regulated by his strength。〃
This is tantamount to saying； 〃My hand is weak。 I cannot draw a
straight line；that is； a line which will be the shortest line
between two given points；and so； in order to make it more easy
for myself； I； intending to draw a straight； will choose for my
model a crooked line。〃
The weaker my hand； the greater the need that my model should be
perfect。
LEO TOLSTOI。
