"Have you seen any of my later writings?" Tolstoy inquired of a visitor who came to him as the admirer of "The Cossacks," of "War and Peace," of "Anna Karenina." The question referred to his religious writings.
When he said no, Tolstoy could only exclaim, "Ah, then you do not know me at all. We must become acquainted."
- from Ivan Panin's Lectures on Russian Literature.
