I ask one thing only: I ask for the right to hope, to suffer as I do. But if even that cannot be, command me to disappear, and I disappear. You shall not see me if my presence is distasteful to you.

Leo Tolstoy
Suffering, Disappear, Command
Leo Tolstoy (2016). “Anna Karenina (World Classics, Unabridged)”, p.121, Vij Books India Pvt Ltd
I ask one thing only: I ask for the right to hope, to suffer as I do. But if even that cannot be, command me to disappear, and I disappear. You shall not see me if my presence is distasteful to you.
