Image
When I have one foot in the grave, I will tell the whole truth about women. I shall tell it, jump into my coffin, pull the lid over me and say, Do what you like now.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Pierre was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.
Leo Tolstoy

Art lifts man from his personal life into the universal life.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
But the peasants - how do the peasants die?

Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
He who has love, is in God, and God is in him, for God is love.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
What is important is not the length of life, but the depth of life. What is important is not to make life longer, but to take your soul out of time, as every sublime act does.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Regard the society of women as a necessary unpleasantness of social life, and avoid it as much as possible.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Upon meeting, you're judged by your clothes, upon parting you're judged by your wits.
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
it's much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
It is very difficult to tell the truth.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
All men's instincts, all their impulses in life, are efforts to increase their freedom. Wealth and poverty, health and disease, culture and ignorance, labor and leisure, repletion and hunger, virtue and vice, are all terms for greater or less degree of freedom.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The more we live by our intellect, the less we understand the meaning of life.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Man survives earthquakes, epidemics, the horrors of disease, and all the agonies of the soul, but for all time his tormenting tragedy is, and will be, the tragedy of the bedroom.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
If so many men, so many minds, certainly so many hearts, so many kinds of love.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
It is not beauty that endears, it's love that makes us see beauty.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
I think... if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.
Leo Tolstoy
