More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
He knew she was there by the joy and terror that took possession of his heart [...] Everything was lit up by her. She was the smile that brightened everything around.
Leo Tolstoy
History would be an excellent thing if only it were true.
Leo Tolstoy
Perhaps it is even more important to know what one should not think about than what one should think about.
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
A wife's a worry, a non-wife's even worse.
Leo Tolstoy
Yes, there is something in me hateful, repulsive, thought Ljewin, as he came away from the Schtscherbazkijs', and walked in the direction of his brother's lodgings. And I don't get on with other people. Pride, they say. No, I have no pride. If I had any pride, I should not have put myself in such a position.
Leo Tolstoy
He looked at her as a man looks at a faded flower he has gathered , with difficulty recognizing the beauty for which he picked and ruined it.
Leo Tolstoy
If a man does not work at necessary and good things, then he will work at unnecessary and stupid things
Leo Tolstoy
Vengeance is mine I will repay.
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
After the doctor's departure Koznyshev felt inclined to go to the river with his fishing rod. He was fond of angling, and seemed proud of being able to like such a stupid occupation.
Leo Tolstoy
I have now understood that though it seems to men that they live by care for themselves, in truth it is love alone by which they live. He who has love, is in God, and God is in him, for God is love.
Leo Tolstoy
I was now prepared to accept any faith so long as it did not demand a direct denial of reason, which would have been a deceit.
Leo Tolstoy
He who has a mistaken idea of life, will always have a mistaken idea of death.
Leo Tolstoy
Though the doctors treated him, let his blood, and gave him medications to drink, he nevertheless recovered.
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
The question was a fashionable one, whether a definite line exists between psychological and physiological phenomena in human activity and if so, where it lies?
Leo Tolstoy
In vain do science and philosophy pose as the arbiters of the human mind, of which they are in fact only the servants. Religion has provided a conception of life, and science travels in the beaten path. Religion reveals the meaning of life, and science only applies this meaning to the course of circumstances.
Leo Tolstoy
Man is meant for happiness and this happiness is in him, in the satisfaction of the daily needs of his existence.
Leo Tolstoy
It is not beauty that endears, it's love that makes us see beauty.
Leo Tolstoy
