If it were only possible for me to see her once more. And of all people none I have loved and hated more than her. And how many people I have hated in my life. Loving with human love, one may pass from love to hatred but divine love cannot change. And that was why I felt such joy when I felt that I loved that man. Some one dear to one can be loved with human love but an enemy can only be loved with divine love. To love everything - to Love God in all His manifestations. The Bezukhovs, while very rich, are a fragmented family as the old Count. To love one's neighbours to love one's enemies. War and Peace tells the story of five aristocratic families the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, the Rostovs, the Kuragins and the Drubetskoysand the entanglements of their personal lives with the history of 18051813, principally Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812. And I know that blissful feeling now too. I knew that feeling of love which is the essence of the soul, for which no object is needed. but not the love that loves for something, to gain something, or because of something, but that love that I felt for the first time, when dying, I saw my enemy and yet loved him.
