Leo Tolstoy
Image

It's hard to love a woman and do anything.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Beautiful as seemed mama's face, it became more lovely when she smiled and seemed to enliven everything about her.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
I must have physical exercise, or my temper'll certainly be ruined.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
He had heard that women often love plain ordinary men, but he did not believe it, because he judged by himself and he could only love beautiful mysterious exceptional women.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
If every man could act as he chose, the whole of history would be a tissue of disconnected accidents.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels?
Leo Tolstoy
Image
We are all created to be miserable, and that we all know it, and all invent means of deceiving each other. And when one sees the truth, what is one to do?
