secluded
life
"I have lived through much,
and now I think I have found
what is needed for happiness.
A quiet secluded life in the country,
with the possibility of being useful
to people to whom it is easy to do good,
and who are not accustomed
to have it done to them;
then work which one hopes may be of some use;
then rest, nature, books,
music, love for one's neighbor...
such is my idea of happiness."
- Leo Tolstoy
