More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Not one word, not one gesture of yours shall I, could I, ever forget.
Leo Tolstoy
We're asleep until we love.
Leo Tolstoy
All the stories and descriptions of that time without exception peak only of the patriotism, self-sacrifice, despair, grief, and heroism of the Russians. But in reality it was not like that...The majority of the people paid no attention to the general course of events but were influenced only by their immediate personal interests.
Leo Tolstoy
I imagine, joking apart, that to know love, one must make mistakes and then correct them.
Leo Tolstoy
When you feel the desire for power, you should stay in solitude for some time
Leo Tolstoy
In our age the common religious perception of men is the consciousness of the brotherhood of man - we know that the well-being of man lies in the union with his fellow men. True science should indicate the various methods of applying this consciousness to life. Art should transform this perception into feeling.
Leo Tolstoy
There is nothing more harmful to you than improving only your material, animal side of life. There is nothing more beneficial, both for you and for others, than activity directed to the improvement of your soul.
Leo Tolstoy
Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
Leo Tolstoy
Rest, nature, books, music...such is my idea of happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
Life is fragile and absurd.
Leo Tolstoy
I can’t think of you and myself apart. You and I are the same to me
Leo Tolstoy
God knows, but He's waiting
Leo Tolstoy
When you understand that you will die to-morrow, if not to-day, and nothing will be left, then everything is so unimportant!... So one goes on living, amusing oneself with hunting, with work - anything so as not think of death
Leo Tolstoy
When Levin thought what he was and what he was living for, he could find no answer to the questions and was reduced to despair but when he left off questioning himself about it, it seemed as though he knew both what he was and what he was living for, acting and living resolutely and without hesitation.
Leo Tolstoy
The kinder and the more thoughtful a person is, the more kindness he can find in other people.
Leo Tolstoy
Nowhere nor in anything, except in the assertion of the Church, can we find that God or Christ founded anything like what churchmen understand by the Church.
Leo Tolstoy
Levin scowled. The humiliation of his rejection stung him to the heart, as though it were a fresh wound he had only just received. But he was at home, and at home the very walls are a support.
Leo Tolstoy
But men are now united in states that work is done why now maintain exclusive devotion to one's own state, when this produces terrible evils for all.
Leo Tolstoy
It is very difficult to tell the truth.
Leo Tolstoy
In order to know what he is, a man must first know what the sum of this mysterious humanity is, a humanity made up of people who, like himself, do not understand what they are.
Leo Tolstoy
