More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Man has received direct from God only one instrument wherewith to know himself and to know his relation to the universe--he has no other--and that instrument is reason.
Leo Tolstoy
I have learned what must be, and therefore have come to see the whole horror of what is.
Leo Tolstoy
I have found that a story leaves a deeper impression when it is impossible to tell which side the author is on.
Leo Tolstoy
I must have physical exercise, or my temper'll certainly be ruined.
Leo Tolstoy
Life is everything. Life is God. Everything shifts and moves, and this movement is God. And while there is life, there is delight in the self-awareness of the divinity. To love life is to love God. The hardest and most blissful thing is to love this life in one's suffering, in the guiltlessness of suffering.
Leo Tolstoy
I ask one thing only: I ask for the right to hope, to suffer as I do. But if even that cannot be, command me to disappear, and I disappear. You shall not see me if my presence is distasteful to you.
Leo Tolstoy
Perfection is impossible without humility. Why should I strive for perfection, if I am already good enough?
Leo Tolstoy
Man recognizes that he will not die, only when he recognizes that he was never born, but always has been, is, and will be.
Leo Tolstoy
Man is meant for happiness and this happiness is in him, in the satisfaction of the daily needs of his existence.
Leo Tolstoy
A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them then work which one hopes may be of some use then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
Perhaps it is even more important to know what one should not think about than what one should think about.
Leo Tolstoy
Debates conceal rather than reveal the truth. Truth is revealed in solitude.
Leo Tolstoy
Mathematics is the queen of disciplines.... it will drive the nonsense out of your head!
Leo Tolstoy
You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine love.
Leo Tolstoy
I can’t think of you and myself apart. You and I are the same to me
Leo Tolstoy
Konstantin Levin did not like talking and hearing about the beauty of nature. Words for him took away the beauty of what he saw.
Leo Tolstoy
The most important knowledge is that which guides the way you lead your life.
Leo Tolstoy
For if we allow that human life is always guided by reason, we destroy the premise that life is possible at all.
Leo Tolstoy
The idea shared by many that life is a vale of tears is just as false as the idea shared by the great majority, the idea to which youth and health and riches incline you, that life is a place of entertainment.
Leo Tolstoy
Childhood candor... shall I ever find you again?
Leo Tolstoy
