He sought his former accustomed fear of death and did not find it. Where is it? What death? There was no fear because there was no death. In place of death there was light.

More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
He could not be mistaken. There were no other eyes like those in the world. There was only one creature in the world who could concentrate for him all the brightness and meaning of life. It was she. It was Kitty.
Leo Tolstoy
The meaning of life consists in the love and service of God.
Leo Tolstoy
There is only one time that is important -- NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time hat we have any power.
Leo Tolstoy
A person who has spoiled his stomach will criticize his meal saying that the food is bad the same thing happens with people who are not satisfied with their lives
Leo Tolstoy
Many families remain for years in the same place, though both husband and wife are sick of it, simply because there is neither complete division nor agreement between them.
Leo Tolstoy
A human can be healthy without killing animals for food.
Leo Tolstoy
Pierre looked into the sky, into the depths of the retreating, twinkling stars. And all this is mine, and all this is in me, and all this is me! thought Pierre. And all this they've caught and put in a shed and boarded it up!
Leo Tolstoy
Suddenly I heard the words of Christ and understood them, and life and death ceased to seem to me evil, and instead of despair I experienced happiness and the joy of life undisturbed by death.
Leo Tolstoy
The business of art lies just in this, -- to make that understood and felt which, in the form of an argument, might be incomprehensible and inaccessible.
Leo Tolstoy
Never did Christ utter a single word attesting to a personal resurrection and a life beyond the grave.
Leo Tolstoy
Just when the question of how to live had become clearer to him, a new insoluble problem presented itself - Death.
Leo Tolstoy
'Thou shalt not kill' does not apply to murder of one's own kind only, but to all living beings and this commandment was inscribed in the human breast long before it was proclaimed from Sinai.
Leo Tolstoy
Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
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
This history of culture will explain to us the motives, the conditions of life, and the thought of the writer or reformer.
Leo Tolstoy
I'll tell you truly: I value my thought and work terribly, but in essence - think about it - this whole world of ours is just a bit of mildew that grew over a tiny planet. And we think we can have something great - thoughts, deeds! They're all grains of sand
Leo Tolstoy
And all these people lived not by reason of any care they had for themselves, but by the love for them that was in other people.
Leo Tolstoy
Love does not exist. There exists the physical need for intercourse, and the rational need for a mate in life
Leo Tolstoy
But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.
Leo Tolstoy
In order to know what he is, a man must first know what the sum of this mysterious humanity is, a humanity made up of people who, like himself, do not understand what they are.
Leo Tolstoy
