More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Life did not stop, and one had to live.
Leo Tolstoy
Rest, nature, books, music...such is my idea of happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
He who has a mistaken idea of life, will always have a mistaken idea of death.
Leo Tolstoy
Not one word, not one gesture of yours shall I, could I, ever forget.
Leo Tolstoy
I can't understand how anyone can write without rewriting everything over and over again.
Leo Tolstoy
Let us forgive each other - only then will we live in peace.
Leo Tolstoy
It seems that it is impossible to live without discovering the purpose of your life. And the first thing which a person should do is to understand the meaning of life. But the majority of people who consider themselves to be educated are proud that they have reached such great height that they cease to care about the meaning of existence.
Leo Tolstoy
Until you do what you believe in, you don't know whether you believe it or not.
Leo Tolstoy
The political is not compatible with the artistic, because the former, in order to prove, has to be one-sided.
Leo Tolstoy
Death destroys the body, as the scaffolding is destroyed after the building is up and finished. And he whose building is up rejoices at the destruction of the scaffolding and of the body.
Leo Tolstoy
Great works of art are only great because they are accessible and comprehensible to everyone.
Leo Tolstoy
The meaning of life consists in the love and service of God.
Leo Tolstoy
He had the unlucky capacity many men have of seeing and believing in the possibility of goodness and truth, but of seeing the evil and falsehood of life too clearly to take any serious part in it.
Leo Tolstoy
Not all of life's roads are set fast, for a man may do this or a man may do that and not even the gods know the mind of a man.
Leo Tolstoy
For if we allow that human life is always guided by reason, we destroy the premise that life is possible at all.
Leo Tolstoy
But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.
Leo Tolstoy
Just as a painter needs light in order to put the finishing touches to his picture, so I need an inner light, which I feel I never have enough of in the autumn.
Leo Tolstoy
Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.
Leo Tolstoy
Eating meat is a leftover of the greatest brutality [killing] the transition to vegetarianism is the first and most natural consequence of enlightenment.
Leo Tolstoy
Love does not exist. There exists the physical need for intercourse, and the rational need for a mate in life
