Just because I tend to forego epicurean pleasures, it doesn't mean I can't appreciate them.

The disgust which Tolstoy felt at the sight of rich and right-thinking people, for whom faith was merely a kind of " epicurean consolation, " threw him definitely among the simple folk who alone lived lives in agreement with their faith.
托尔斯泰看到有钱人和思想正确的人时感到厌恶,对他们来说,信仰只是一种“义的安慰”,这使他明确地陷入了那些独自过着与信仰相一致的生活的单纯的人。
