More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
I can’t think of you and myself apart. You and I are the same to me
Leo Tolstoy
Before we can study the central issues of life today, we must destroy the prejudices and fallacies born of previous centuries.
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
In order to obtain and hold power a man must love it. Thus the effort to get it is not likely to be coupled with goodness, but with the opposite qualities of pride, craft and cruelty.
Leo Tolstoy
They've got no idea what happiness is, they don't know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us--there is no life.
Leo Tolstoy
A holy spirit lives within you.
Leo Tolstoy
Art should cause violence to be set aside and it is only art that can accomplish this.
Leo Tolstoy
It is horrible! It is not the suffering and the death of the animals that is horrible, but the fact that the man without any need for so doing crushes his lofty feeling of sympathy and mercy for living creatures and does violence to himself that he may be cruel. The first element of moral life is abstinence.
Leo Tolstoy
There are no conditions to which a man cannot get accustomed, especially if he sees that everyone around him lives in the same way.
Leo Tolstoy
This history of culture will explain to us the motives, the conditions of life, and the thought of the writer or reformer.
Leo Tolstoy
It's all God's will: you can die in your sleep, and God can spare you in battle.
Leo Tolstoy
but that what was for him the greatest and most cruel injustice appeared to others a quite ordinary occurrence.
Leo Tolstoy
Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal - that there is no human relation between master and slave.
Leo Tolstoy
Christianity, with its doctrine of humility, of forgiveness, of love, is incompatible with the state, with its haughtiness, its violence, its punishment, its wars
Leo Tolstoy
The earth is the general and equal possession of all humanity and therefore cannot be the property of individuals.
Leo Tolstoy
The highest wisdom has but one science-the science of the whole-the science explaining the whole creation and man's place in it.
Leo Tolstoy
Pretence about anything sometimes deceives the wisest and shrewdest man, but, however cunningly it is hidden, a child of the meanest capacity feels it and is repelled by it.
Leo Tolstoy
If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.
Leo Tolstoy
Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
but my life now, my whole life apart from anything that can happen to me, every minute of it is no more meaningless, as it was before, but it has the positive meaning of goodness, which I have the power to put into it.
Leo Tolstoy
