I’ve only read one of Tolstoy’s works – Anna Karenina – and that, much like many things in life required wading through some slow sections. However, taking time for the entire novel was worthwhile. Partially in jest, I tie him in for the weekend and an activity that lots of us enjoy: roasting marshmallows! I bet if Tolstoy were waiting for the perfectly browned outside and delightfully gooey center, he would remind us of the virtues necessary in gaining the desired outcome…
“The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience.”
-Leo Tolstoy
