Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
If you love me as you say you do,' she whispered, 'make it so that I am at peace.
Leo Tolstoy
Loving the same man or woman all your life, why, that's like supposing the same candle could last you all your life
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
Read less, study less, but think more
Leo Tolstoy
The role of the disappointed lover of a maiden or of any single woman might be ridiculous but the role of a man who was pursuing a married woman, and who made it the purpose of his life at all cost to draw her into adultery, was one which had in it something beautiful and dignified and could never be ridiculous.
Leo Tolstoy
People jump back and forth in pursuit of pleasures only because they see the emptiness of their lives more clearly than they do the emptiness of whichever new entertainment attracts them.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
My piece of bread only belongs to me when I know that everyone else has a share, and that no one starves while I eat.
Leo Tolstoy
Energy rests upon love and come as it will, there's no forcing it.
Leo Tolstoy
And whatever people might say about the time having come when young people must arrange their future for themselves, she could not believe it any more than she could believe that loaded pistols could ever be the best toys for five-year-old children.
Leo Tolstoy
In the best, the friendliest and simplest relations flattery or praise is necessary, just as grease is necessary to keep wheels turning.
Leo Tolstoy
The whole trouble lies in that people think that there are conditions excluding the necessity of love in their intercourse with man, but such conditions do not exist. Things may be treated without love one may chop wood, make bricks, forge iron without love, but one can no more deal with people without love than one can handle bees without care.
Leo Tolstoy
A monkey was carrying two handfuls of peas. One little pea dropped out. He tried to pick it up, and split twenty. He tried to pick up the twenty, and split them all. Then he lost his temper, scattered the peas in all directions and ran away
Leo Tolstoy
All the true heroes of history will be forgotten and all the villains will be remembered as heroes.
Leo Tolstoy
Division of labor is a justification for sloth.
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
