More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
History would be an excellent thing if only it were true.
Leo Tolstoy
If I know the way home and am walking along it drunkenly, is it any less the right way because I am staggering from side to side!
Leo Tolstoy
If people tell you that you should live your life preparing for the future, do not believe them. Real Life is found only in the present.
Leo Tolstoy
I imagine, joking apart, that to know love, one must make mistakes and then correct them.
Leo Tolstoy
but that what was for him the greatest and most cruel injustice appeared to others a quite ordinary occurrence.
Leo Tolstoy
it's much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it.
Leo Tolstoy
War is not courtesy but the most horrible thing in life and we ought to understand that, and not play at war. We ought to accept this terrible necessity sternly and seriously. It all lies in that: get rid of falsehood and let war be war and not a game.
Leo Tolstoy
Anna smiled,as people smile at the weaknesses of those they love. . .
Leo Tolstoy
I can't understand how anyone can write without rewriting everything over and over again.
Leo Tolstoy
There is no significant idea which cannot be explained to an intelligent twelve year old boy in fifteen minutes.
Leo Tolstoy
In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful.
Leo Tolstoy
Every reform by violence is to be deprecated, because it does little to correct the evil while men remain as they are, and because wisdom has no need of violence.
Leo Tolstoy
Vengeance is mine I will repay.
Leo Tolstoy
Nietzsche was stupid and abnormal.
Leo Tolstoy
The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity by contributing to the establishment of the kingdom of God, which can only be done by the recognition and profession of the truth by every man.
Leo Tolstoy
Why does man have reason if he can only be influenced by violence?
Leo Tolstoy
The higher a man stands on the social ladder, the greater the number of people he is connected with, the more power he has over other people, the more obvious is the predestination and inevitability of his every action.
Leo Tolstoy
Himmlisch ist's wenn ich bezwungen Meine irdische Begier Aber doch wenn's nich gelungen Hatt' ich auch recht huebsch Plaisir! Loosely translated: It is heavenly, when I overcome My earthly desires But nevertheless, when I'm not successful, It can also be quite pleasurable.
Leo Tolstoy
There can be only one permanent revolution- a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man.
Leo Tolstoy
Man survives earthquakes, epidemics, the horrors of disease, and all the agonies of the soul, but for all time his tormenting tragedy is, and will be, the tragedy of the bedroom.
