Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
There it is!' he thought with rapture. 'When I was already in despair, and when it seemed there would be no end- there it is! She loves me. She's confessed it.
Leo Tolstoy
Effort is not a means to lead us to happiness. Effort itself is happiness
Leo Tolstoy
You consider war to be inevitable? Very good. Let everyone who advocates war be enrolled in a special regiment of advance-guards, for the front of every storm, of every attack, to lead them all!
Leo Tolstoy
The question was a fashionable one, whether a definite line exists between psychological and physiological phenomena in human activity and if so, where it lies?
Leo Tolstoy
Eating meat is a leftover of the greatest brutality [killing] the transition to vegetarianism is the first and most natural consequence of enlightenment.
Leo Tolstoy
Whenever my life came to a halt, the questions would arise: Why? And what next?
Leo Tolstoy
Her maternal instinct told her Natasha had too much of something, and because of this she would not be happy
Leo Tolstoy
Writing laws is easy, but governing is difficult.
Leo Tolstoy
