Art should cause violence to be set aside and it is only art that can accomplish this.
Leo Tolstoy
If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences, one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves, because to live contrary to one's reason is a most intolerable state, and all men of our time are in such a state.
Leo Tolstoy
Anna smiled,as people smile at the weaknesses of those they love. . .
Leo Tolstoy
Energy is based on love.
Leo Tolstoy
Faith is the force of life.
Leo Tolstoy
If you're not enjoying your work, you should either change your attitude, or change your job.
Leo Tolstoy
I am always with myself, and it is I who am my tormentor.
Leo Tolstoy
The political is not compatible with the artistic, because the former, in order to prove, has to be one-sided.
Leo Tolstoy
Konstantin Levin did not like talking and hearing about the beauty of nature. Words for him took away the beauty of what he saw.
Leo Tolstoy
We love people not so much for the good they've done us, as for the good we've done them.
Leo Tolstoy
What is important is not the length of life, but the depth of life. What is important is not to make life longer, but to take your soul out of time, as every sublime act does.
Leo Tolstoy
In all human sorrow nothing gives comfort but love and faith, and that in the sight of Christ's compassion for us no sorrow is trifiling.
Leo Tolstoy
There is no genius where there is not simplicity.
Leo Tolstoy
This history of culture will explain to us the motives, the conditions of life, and the thought of the writer or reformer.
Leo Tolstoy
And Levin, a happy father and a man in perfect health, was several times so near suicide that he hid the cord, lest he be tempted to hang himself, and was afraid to go out with his gun, for fear of shooting himself. But Levin did not shoot himself, and did not hang himself he went on living.
Leo Tolstoy
These joys were so trifling as to be as imperceptible as grains of gold among the sand, and in moments of depression she saw nothing but the sand yet there were brighter moments when she felt nothing but joy, saw nothing but the gold.
Leo Tolstoy
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. A handsome woman talks nonsense, you listen and hear not nonsense but cleverness. She says and does horrid things, and you see only charm. And if a handsome woman does not say stupid or horrid things, you at once persuade yourself that she is wonderfully clever and moral.
Leo Tolstoy
So he lived, not knowing and not seeing any chance of knowing what he was and for what purpose he had been placed in the word.
Leo Tolstoy
Each time of life has its own kind of love.
Leo Tolstoy
There is no significant idea which cannot be explained to an intelligent twelve year old boy in fifteen minutes.
Leo Tolstoy
