More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Are we not all flung into the world for no other purpose than to hate each other, and so to torture ourselves and one another?
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
She was in that highly-wrought state when the reasoning powers act with great rapidity: the state a man is in before a battle or a struggle, in danger, and at the decisive moments of life - those moments when a man shows once and for all what he is worth, that his past was not lived in vain but was a preparation for these moments.
Leo Tolstoy
You say: I am not free. But I have raised and lowered my arm. Everyone understands that this illogical answer is an irrefutable proof of freedom.
Leo Tolstoy
He looked at her as a man might look at a faded flower he had plucked, in which it was difficult for him to trace the beauty that had made him pick and so destroy it
Leo Tolstoy
One ought only to write when one leaves a piece of one's own flesh in the inkpot, each time one dips one's pen.
Leo Tolstoy
If you do not know your place in the world and the meaning of your life, you should know there is something to blame and it is not the social system, or your intellect, but the way in which you have directed your intellect.
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
One may say with one's lips: “I believe that the world was created six thousand years ago” or, “I believe that Jesus flew away into the skies and is sitting on the right hand of the Father” or, “God is One, and also Three” — but no one can believe it, because the words have no sense.
Leo Tolstoy
I don't think badly of people. I like everybody, and I'm sorry for everybody.
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
Upon meeting, you're judged by your clothes, upon parting you're judged by your wits.
Leo Tolstoy
To regard Christ as God, and to pray to him, are to my mind the greatest possible sacrilege.
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
You consider war to be inevitable? Very good. Let everyone who advocates war be enrolled in a special regiment of advance-guards, for the front of every storm, of every attack, to lead them all!
Leo Tolstoy
God knows, but He's waiting
Leo Tolstoy
I have found that a story leaves a deeper impression when it is impossible to tell which side the author is on.
Leo Tolstoy
People understand the meaning of eating lies in the nourishment of the body only when they cease to consider that the object of that activity is pleasure. ...People understand the meaning of art only when they cease to consider that the aim of that activity is beauty, i.e., pleasure.
Leo Tolstoy
Her maternal instinct told her Natasha had too much of something, and because of this she would not be happy
Leo Tolstoy
But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.
Leo Tolstoy
