But I renounce almost all of my work, because it is trash.
Heroes
God, who is number one. Jesus, who is number two, but technically, number one too. The Holy Spirit, who is like number 230, but technically, number one yet again. I think my wife, Sophia Behrs, whom I am not sure if I owe anything to.
About me: I was born on August 28, 1828 at Yasnya Polyana, in Tula Province, 120 miles or so south of Moscow. I was the fourth of five children in a very wealthy and ancient family. My parents died when I was a child, my father died whilst traveling with some servants into town, and I was brought up by relatives.
In 1844 I started studying law and oriental languages at Kazan University, but I never took a degree. Dissatisfied with the standard of education, I returned in the middle of my studies back to Yasnya Polyana, which I had inherited fully in 1847. and then spent much of much time in Moscow and St. Petersburg, mostly in brothels.
I was treated for venereal disease in 1847, and for most of the rest of my life was troubled by my tendency to debauch myself on a grand scale. “When my brothers took me for the first time to a brothel and I accomplished this act, I then stood by the woman’s bed and wept.” From this point on my sexual desires and moral beliefs would constantly be at odds with each other. Mostly the sex won out.
I married my 18 year old lover, Sophia Behrs, in 1862 and had thirteen kids, damnit. Sergei, Tatyana, Ilya, Leo, Marya, Peter, Nikolai, Varvara, Andrei, Mikhail, Aleksei, Alexandra, and Ivan
I clearly realized that my biography, if it suppressed all the nastiness and criminality of my life - as they customarily write biographies - would be a lie, and that if one is going to write my biography, one must write the whole truth.
After I finished writing Anna Karenina, I decided everything I wrote before that was godless and otherwise garbage. I immersed myself into a full "conversion", not questioning my religious belief any longer, and renounced hunting, eating meat, smoking, dentists, and even drinking alcohol. Although I believed that my family was full of "insane people", so I left my estate to my disciple Vladimir Chertkov so as to follow the urge to live as a wandering ascetic, and died of pneumonia and heart failure on November 20, 1910, at a Astapova railway junction.

In this old world that we live in
There is one great joy that everyone can share,
The joy of giving to the
People for whom we care;
If you show love in small ways
It is always there.
To be giving and forgiving
Is to know the reason why we're living.
What's so hard about giving?
It's a perfectly simple art
The trick is to live with love from the start
And to give with an open heart.
Great friend,
May your Christmas be as special and unique as you are!
