Tolstoy Diary Entry

I sometimes grab a random quote from Tolstoy’s diaries to get inspiration for the day. Not because I’m about to write anything, just to touch ground as it were.

Tolstoy

Here’s the quote:

Fell in love, or imagined that I had; was at a party and lost my head. Bought a horse I have no need of whatsoever.

Rules. Don’t offer a price for a thing you don’t need. On arriving at a ball, ask someone to dance at once and take a turn with her at a waltz or a polka.

Think about ways of putting my affairs in order this evening. Stay at home.
