Quote by Leo Tolstoy

In order to change the nature of things, either within yourself or in others, one should change, not the events, but those thoughts which created whose events.

In order to change the nature of things, either within yours

Summary

This quote highlights that if one desires to bring about change within oneself or others, they must focus on transforming the underlying thoughts and beliefs that gave rise to the current circumstances. Instead of solely addressing external events or actions, the real power lies in altering the mindset and thought patterns driving those events. By doing so, lasting change becomes feasible as it directly impacts the root cause rather than merely addressing the symptoms.

Henry's universe was modeled on the highball. It was a mixture in which half a pint of the fizziest philosophical and scientific ideas all but drowned a small jigger of immediate experience, most of it strictly sexual. Broken reeds are seldom good mixers. They're far too busy with their ideas, their sensuality and their psychosomatic complaints to be able to take an interest in other people - even their own wives and children. They live in a state of the most profound voluntary ignorance, not knowing anything about anybody, but abounding in preconceived opinions about everything.
