More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Happiness consists of living each day as if it were the first day of your honeymoon and the last day of your vacation.
Leo Tolstoy
I love her not with my mind or my imagination, but with my whole being. Loving her I feel myself to be an integral part of all God's joyous world.
Leo Tolstoy
Some mathematician said that pleasure lies not in discovering the truth but in searching for it.
Leo Tolstoy
The life of our class, of the wealthy and the learned, was not only repulsive to me but had lost all meaning. The sum of our action and thinking, of our science and art, all of it struck me as the overindulgences of a spoiled child.
Leo Tolstoy
It is possible to live only as long as life intoxicates us once we are sober we cannot help seeing that it is all a delusion, a stupid delusion.
Leo Tolstoy
He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began.
Leo Tolstoy
Each person's task in life is to become an increasingly better person.
Leo Tolstoy
Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know.
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
One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.
Leo Tolstoy
Beautiful as seemed mama's face, it became more lovely when she smiled and seemed to enliven everything about her.
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
If he be really and seriously seeking to live a good life, the first thing from which he will abstain will always be the use of animal food, because ...its use is simply immoral, as it involves the performance of an act which is contrary to the moral feeling - killing.
Leo Tolstoy
No matter when, at whatever moment, if she were asked what she was thinking about she could reply quite correctly - one thing, her happiness and her unhappiness.
Leo Tolstoy
Art is the uniting of the subjective with the objective, of nature with reason, of the unconscious with the conscious, and therefore art is the highest means of knowledge.
Leo Tolstoy
Rummaging in our souls, we often dig up something that ought to have lain there unnoticed.
Leo Tolstoy
When the suffering of another creature causes you to feel pain, do not submit to the initial desire to flee from the suffering one, but on the contrary, come closer, as close as you can to her who suffers, and try to help her.
Leo Tolstoy
What is important is not the quantity of your knowledge but its quality. You can know many things without knowing the most important.
Leo Tolstoy
One must put oneself in every one's position. To understand everything is to forgive everything.
Leo Tolstoy
Vengeance is mine I will repay.
Leo Tolstoy
