You will die and it will all be over. You will die and find out everything or cease asking.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
In order to understand, observe, deduce, man must first be conscious of himself as alive.
Leo Tolstoy

God cannot be understood by logical reasoning but only by submission.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The life of our class, of the wealthy and the learned, was not only repulsive to me but had lost all meaning. The sum of our action and thinking, of our science and art, all of it struck me as the overindulgences of a spoiled child.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
In infinite time, in infinite matter, in infinite space, is formed a bubble organism, and that bubble lasts a while and bursts, and that bubble is Me.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
They ought to find out how to vaccinate for love, like smallpox.
