More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.
Leo Tolstoy
Great works of art are only great because they are accessible and comprehensible to everyone.
Leo Tolstoy
When one's head is gone one doesn't weep for one's hair!
Leo Tolstoy
Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
Leo Tolstoy
Pierre was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.
Leo Tolstoy
Pierre looked into the sky, into the depths of the retreating, twinkling stars. And all this is mine, and all this is in me, and all this is me! thought Pierre. And all this they've caught and put in a shed and boarded it up!
Leo Tolstoy
Everything ends in death, everything. Death is terrible.
Leo Tolstoy
What am I coming for? he repeated, looking straight into her eyes. You know that I have come to be where you are, he said I can't help it.
Leo Tolstoy
Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
Leo Tolstoy
He who has love, is in God, and God is in him, for God is love.
Leo Tolstoy
All the stories and descriptions of that time without exception peak only of the patriotism, self-sacrifice, despair, grief, and heroism of the Russians. But in reality it was not like that...The majority of the people paid no attention to the general course of events but were influenced only by their immediate personal interests.
Leo Tolstoy
People jump back and forth in pursuit of pleasures only because they see the emptiness of their lives more clearly than they do the emptiness of whichever new entertainment attracts them.
Leo Tolstoy
If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences, one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves, because to live contrary to one's reason is a most intolerable state, and all men of our time are in such a state.
Leo Tolstoy
Science is meaningless because it gives no answer to our question, the only question important for us: 'What shall we do and how shall we live?'
Leo Tolstoy
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
But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.
Leo Tolstoy
And that which yesterday was the novel opinion of one man, to-day becomes the general opinion of the majority.
Leo Tolstoy
Yes, there is something in me hateful, repulsive, thought Ljewin, as he came away from the Schtscherbazkijs', and walked in the direction of his brother's lodgings. And I don't get on with other people. Pride, they say. No, I have no pride. If I had any pride, I should not have put myself in such a position.
Leo Tolstoy
He looked at her as a man might look at a faded flower he had plucked, in which it was difficult for him to trace the beauty that had made him pick and so destroy it
Leo Tolstoy
And all these people lived not by reason of any care they had for themselves, but by the love for them that was in other people.
Leo Tolstoy
