Leo Tolstoy
Teach French and unteach sincerity.
Leo Tolstoy
He is not apprehended by reason, but by life.
Leo Tolstoy
Life is everything. Life is God. Everything shifts and moves, and this movement is God. And while there is life, there is delight in the self-awareness of the divinity. To love life is to love God. The hardest and most blissful thing is to love this life in one's suffering, in the guiltlessness of suffering.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
One must put oneself in every one's position. To understand everything is to forgive everything.
Leo Tolstoy
Some mathematician said that pleasure lies not in discovering the truth but in searching for it.
Leo Tolstoy
We should show life neither as it is or as it ought to be, but only as we see it in our dreams.
Leo Tolstoy
Whatever question arose, a swarm of these drones, without having finished their buzzing on a previous theme, flew over to the new one and by their hum drowned and obscured the voices of those who were disputing honestly.
Leo Tolstoy
At that instant he knew that all his doubts, even the impossibility of believing with his reason, of which he was aware in himself, did not in the least hinder his turning to God. All of that now floated out of his soul like dust. To whom was he to turn if not to Him in whose hands he felt himself, his soul, and his love?
Leo Tolstoy
Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.
Leo Tolstoy
