More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
In order to understand, observe, deduce, man must first be conscious of himself as alive.
Leo Tolstoy
He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began.
Leo Tolstoy
Man survives earthquakes, epidemics, the horrors of disease, and all the agonies of the soul, but for all time his tormenting tragedy is, and will be, the tragedy of the bedroom.
Leo Tolstoy
When one's head is gone one doesn't weep for one's hair!
Leo Tolstoy
Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.
Leo Tolstoy
The religious superstition is encouraged by means of the institution of churches, processions, monuments, festivities....The so-called clergy stupefy the masses....They befog the people and keep them in an eternal condition of stupefaction.
Leo Tolstoy
... a man has to think of his soul before everything else.
Leo Tolstoy
Art is not a pleasure, a solace, or an amusement art is a great matter. Art is an organ of human life, transmitting man's reasonable perception into feeling.
Leo Tolstoy
The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.
Leo Tolstoy
If he be really and seriously seeking to live a good life, the first thing from which he will abstain will always be the use of animal food, because ...its use is simply immoral, as it involves the performance of an act which is contrary to the moral feeling - killing.
Leo Tolstoy
In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful.
Leo Tolstoy
What a strange illusion it is to suppose that beauty is goodness.
Leo Tolstoy
The law of violence is not a law, but a simple fact which can only be a law when it does not meet with protest and opposition. It is like the cold, darkness and weight, which people had to put up with until recently when warmth, illumination and leverage were discovered.
Leo Tolstoy
Faith is the force of life.
Leo Tolstoy
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
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
By patriotism is meant, not only spontaneous, instinctive love for one's own nation, and preference for it above all other nations, but also the belief that such love and preference are good and useful.
Leo Tolstoy
We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom.
Leo Tolstoy
…the majority of men do not think in order to know the truth, but in order to assure themselves that the life which they lead, and which is agreeable and habitual to them, is the one which coincides with the truth.
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
