More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
The higher a man stands on the social ladder, the greater the number of people he is connected with, the more power he has over other people, the more obvious is the predestination and inevitability of his every action.
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
All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.
Leo Tolstoy
Eating meat is a leftover of the greatest brutality [killing] the transition to vegetarianism is the first and most natural consequence of enlightenment.
Leo Tolstoy
If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.
Leo Tolstoy
The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.
Leo Tolstoy
In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.
Leo Tolstoy
People of limited intelligence are fond of talking about these days, imagining that they have discovered and appraised the peculiarities of these days and that human nature changes with the times.
Leo Tolstoy
Not all of life's roads are set fast, for a man may do this or a man may do that and not even the gods know the mind of a man.
Leo Tolstoy
It seems that it is impossible to live without discovering the purpose of your life. And the first thing which a person should do is to understand the meaning of life. But the majority of people who consider themselves to be educated are proud that they have reached such great height that they cease to care about the meaning of existence.
Leo Tolstoy
Either you are so underdeveloped that you can't see all that you can do, or you won't sacrifice your ease, your vanity, or whatever it is, to do it.
Leo Tolstoy
It seldom happens that a man changes his life through his habitual reasoning. No matter how fully he may sense the new plans and aims revealed to him by reason, he continues to plod along in old paths until his life becomes frustrating and unbearable-he finally makes the change only when his usual life can no longer be tolerated.
Leo Tolstoy
The only purpose of education is freedom the only method is experience.
Leo Tolstoy
Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
Anna smiled,as people smile at the weaknesses of those they love. . .
Leo Tolstoy
Knowledge is real knowledge only when it is acquired by the efforts of your intellect, not by memory
Leo Tolstoy
Both salvation and punishment for man lie in the fact that if he lives wrongly he can befog himself so as not to see the misery of his position.
Leo Tolstoy
All that day she had had the feeling that she was playing in the theatre with actors better than herself and that her poor playing spoiled the whole thing.
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
Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.
Leo Tolstoy
