More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
I ask one thing only: I ask for the right to hope, to suffer as I do. But if even that cannot be, command me to disappear, and I disappear. You shall not see me if my presence is distasteful to you.
Leo Tolstoy
The error arises from the learned jurists deceiving themselves and others, by asserting that government is not what it really is, one set of men banded together to oppress another set of men , but, as shown by science, is the representation of the citizens in their collective capacity.
Leo Tolstoy
It's all God's will: you can die in your sleep, and God can spare you in battle.
Leo Tolstoy
He who has a mistaken idea of life, will always have a mistaken idea of death.
Leo Tolstoy
ٰThe Most difficult thing but an essential one – is to love Life, to love it even while one suffers, because Life is all, Life is God, and to love Life means to love God.
Leo Tolstoy
Happiness is in your ability to love others.
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
she smiled at him, and at her own fears.
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
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
Why should I live? Why should I do anything? Is there in life any purpose which the inevitable death that awaits me does not undo and destroy?
Leo Tolstoy
I don’t count life as life without love
Leo Tolstoy
In order to understand, observe, deduce, man must first be conscious of himself as alive.
Leo Tolstoy
The truth is obtained like gold, not by letting it grow bigger, but by washing off from it everything that isn't gold
Leo Tolstoy
The happiness of men consists in life. And life is in labor.
Leo Tolstoy
And once he had seen this, he could never again see it otherwise, just as we cannot reconstruct an illusion once it has been explained.
Leo Tolstoy
There is one evident, indubitable manifestation of the Divinity, and that is the laws of right which are made known to the world through Revelation.
Leo Tolstoy
In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.
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
Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.
Leo Tolstoy
