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
And that which yesterday was the novel opinion of one man, to-day becomes the general opinion of the majority.
Leo Tolstoy
The subject of history is the life of peoples and mankind.
Leo Tolstoy
We walked to meet each other up at the time of our love and then we have been irresistibly drifting in different directions, and there's no altering that.
Leo Tolstoy
But I'm glad you'll see me as I am. Above all, I wouldn't want people to think that I want to prove anything. I don't want to prove anything, I just want to live to cause no evil to anyone but myself. I have that right, haven't I?
Leo Tolstoy
