Leo Tolstoy
Loving the same man or woman all your life, why, that's like supposing the same candle could last you all your life
Leo Tolstoy
Love those you hate you.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
Mathematics is the queen of disciplines.... it will drive the nonsense out of your head!
Leo Tolstoy
There are always so many conjectures as to the issue of any event that, whatever the outcome, there will always be people to say: 'I said then that it would be so'
Leo Tolstoy
I began to realize that the most profound wisdom of man was rooted in the answers given by faith and that I did not have the right to deny them on the grounds of reason above all, I realized that these answers alone can form a reply to the question of life.
Leo Tolstoy
'Thou shalt not kill' does not apply to murder of one's own kind only, but to all living beings and this commandment was inscribed in the human breast long before it was proclaimed from Sinai.
Leo Tolstoy
Beautiful as seemed mama's face, it became more lovely when she smiled and seemed to enliven everything about her.
Leo Tolstoy
