WAR_AND_PEACE
Quoting from Tolstoy's
"War and Peace" (1865-1869):
" ... In historic events the rule forbidding us to
eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge is
specially applicable. Only unconscious action
bears fruit, and he who plays a part in an historic
event never understands its significance. If he
tries to realize it his efforts are fruitless."
Book XII, Chapter IV, p.164 (WC)
