In this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s "The Death of Ivan Ilyich", the sentences that best shows how Ivan Ilyich struggles with his life and his inability to let go of his past are:
"He was hindered from getting into it by his conviction that his life had been a good one. That very justification of his life held him fast and prevented his moving forward, and it caused him most torment of all."
