Another Tolstoy Tidbit

"Once admit that human life can be guided by reason, and all possibility of life is annihilated."

                                                    War and Peace, Epilogue Part I Chapter 1

This quote is so contrary to my natural leanings, I don't think I would have understood it at all just a few years ago.  I now realize what Count Tolstoy is getting at, and I agree . . . I think . . . if you don't take it too far!
