Image
Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
Leo Tolstoy
Image

Leo Tolstoy
Image
Everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Let us forgive each other - only then will we live in peace.

Man's mind cannot grasp the causes of events in their completeness, but the desire to find the causes is implanted in man's soul.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
I'll tell you truly: I value my thought and work terribly, but in essence - think about it - this whole world of ours is just a bit of mildew that grew over a tiny planet. And we think we can have something great - thoughts, deeds! They're all grains of sand

I must have physical exercise, or my temper'll certainly be ruined.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences, one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves, because to live contrary to one's reason is a most intolerable state, and all men of our time are in such a state.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Writing laws is easy, but governing is difficult.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that, it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Art is the uniting of the subjective with the objective, of nature with reason, of the unconscious with the conscious, and therefore art is the highest means of knowledge.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
It's hard to love a woman and do anything.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
People look like rivers very much: water is everywhere the same, but the rivers are narrow, fast, wide, pure, cold, muddy and warm. The people are the same. They have the rudiment of every human habit in them and they behave according to them. Sometimes they even do not look like themselves, but they still stay whatever they are.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
We should show life neither as it is or as it ought to be, but only as we see it in our dreams.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
she smiled at him, and at her own fears.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
We walked to meet each other up at the time of our love and then we have been irresistibly drifting in different directions, and there's no altering that.
Leo Tolstoy
