Tolstoi begann seinen Roman Anna Karenina einst mit den Worten: "Alle glücklichen Familien sind einander ähnlich, aber jede unglückliche Familie ist auf ihre besondere Art unglücklich." Das lässt sich auch über die Liebe sagen - das Gefühl ist dasselbe, doch der Ausdruck verschieden. All das Schöne und Tragische der Liebe, aber nie gleich.
