Leo Tolstoy

If people tell you that you should live your life preparing for the future, do not believe them. Real Life is found only in the present.
Leo Tolstoy

Debates conceal rather than reveal the truth. Truth is revealed in solitude.
Leo Tolstoy

What is important is not the quantity of your knowledge but its quality. You can know many things without knowing the most important.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Art is the uniting of the subjective with the objective, of nature with reason, of the unconscious with the conscious, and therefore art is the highest means of knowledge.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Never did Christ utter a single word attesting to a personal resurrection and a life beyond the grave.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Better to know a few things which are good and necessary than many things which are useless and mediocre
Leo Tolstoy

Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
If you want to be happy, try only to please God, not people.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
I feel not only that I cannot disappear, as nothing disappears in the world, but that I will always be and have always been. I feel that, besides me, above me, spirits live, and that in this world there is truth.
