More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
And so the liberal tendency became a habit with Stepan Arkadyich, and he liked his newspaper, as he liked a cigar after dinner, for the slight haze it produced in his head.
Leo Tolstoy
Power is the relation of a given person to other persons, in which the more this person expresses opinions, theories and justifications of the collective action the less is his participation in that action.
Leo Tolstoy
Art is the uniting of the subjective with the objective, of nature with reason, of the unconscious with the conscious, and therefore art is the highest means of knowledge.
Leo Tolstoy
You will die and it will all be over. You will die and find out everything or cease asking.
Leo Tolstoy
I don't think badly of people. I like everybody, and I'm sorry for everybody.
Leo Tolstoy
It is not beauty that endears, it's love that makes us see beauty.
Leo Tolstoy
We acknowledge God only when we are conscious of His manifestation in us.
Leo Tolstoy
In the spiritual realm nothing is indifferent: what is not useful is harmful.
Leo Tolstoy
The law condemns and punishes only actions within certain definite and narrow limits it thereby justifies, in a way, all similar actions that lie outside those limits.
Leo Tolstoy
If you no longer believe in the God in whom you believed in before, this comes from the fact that there was something wrong with your belief, and you must strive to understand better that which you call God.
Leo Tolstoy
He was right in saying that the only certain happiness in life is to live for others.
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
Levin scowled. The humiliation of his rejection stung him to the heart, as though it were a fresh wound he had only just received. But he was at home, and at home the very walls are a support.
Leo Tolstoy
The soul is immortal- well then, if I shall always live, I must have lived before, lived for a whole eternity.
Leo Tolstoy
What a strange illusion it is to suppose that beauty is goodness.
Leo Tolstoy
I don't want to prove anything I merely want to live, to do no one harm but myself. I have the right to do that, haven't I?
Leo Tolstoy
If once we admit, be it for a single hour or in a single instance, that there can be anything more important than compassion for a fellow human being, then there is no crime against man that we cannot commit with an easy conscience.
Leo Tolstoy
If the thought ever comes to you that everything that you have thought about God is mistaken and that there is no God, do not be dismayed. It happens to many people. But do not think that the source of your unbelief is that there is no God.
Leo Tolstoy
When Levin thought what he was and what he was living for, he could find no answer to the questions and was reduced to despair but when he left off questioning himself about it, it seemed as though he knew both what he was and what he was living for, acting and living resolutely and without hesitation.
Leo Tolstoy
He who has a mistaken idea of life, will always have a mistaken idea of death.
Leo Tolstoy
