A human can be healthy without killing animals for food.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
People understand the meaning of eating lies in the nourishment of the body only when they cease to consider that the object of that activity is pleasure. ...People understand the meaning of art only when they cease to consider that the aim of that activity is beauty, i.e., pleasure.
Leo Tolstoy

There is nothing more harmful to you than improving only your material, animal side of life. There is nothing more beneficial, both for you and for others, than activity directed to the improvement of your soul.

Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
When you understand that you will die to-morrow, if not to-day, and nothing will be left, then everything is so unimportant!... So one goes on living, amusing oneself with hunting, with work - anything so as not think of death

Image
Error is the force that welds men together truth is communicated to men only by deeds of truth.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The time is fast approaching when to call a man a patriot will be the deepest insult you can offer him. Patriotism now means advocating plunder in the interest of the privileged classes of the particular State system into which we have happened to be born.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Everything depends on upbringing.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
If you want to be happy, just be.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Man by violating his own feelings becomes cruel. And how deeply seated in the human heart is the injunction not to take life.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
One can often hear from the young people: I do not want to live according to others` mind. I can think of it myself. Why should one think of something, when it is already thought about. Take it and go farther, this is the strength of the mankind.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Historians are like deaf people who go on answering questions that no one has asked them.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal - that there is no human relation between master and slave.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
For us, with the rule of right and wrong given us by Christ, there is nothing for which we have no standard. And there is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.
