I’m reading Anna Karenina…
Levin says this after Kitty rejects his marriage proposal:
“When he saw it all, he was overcome by a momentary doubt of the possibility of setting up that new life he had dreamed of ... All these traces of his life seemed to seize hold of him and say to him: ‘No, you won’t escape us and be different, you’ll be the same as you were: with doubts, an eternal dissatisfaction with yourself, vain attempts to improve, and failures, and an eternal expectation of the happiness that has eluded you and is not possible for you.’”
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
