Art is not a pleasure, a solace, or an amusement art is a great matter. Art is an organ of human life, transmitting man's reasonable perception into feeling.

More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
There can be only one permanent revolution - a moral one the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.
Leo Tolstoy
People look like rivers very much: water is everywhere the same, but the rivers are narrow, fast, wide, pure, cold, muddy and warm. The people are the same. They have the rudiment of every human habit in them and they behave according to them. Sometimes they even do not look like themselves, but they still stay whatever they are.

Leo Tolstoy
I often think how unfairly life's good fortune is sometimes distributed.
Leo Tolstoy
The activity of art is... as important as the activity of language itself, and as universal.
Leo Tolstoy
Quos vilt perdere dementat' Whome the gods wish to destroy, they first drive made (Latin).
Leo Tolstoy
The true office of any faith is to give life a meaning which death cannot destroy.
Leo Tolstoy
Anna smiled,as people smile at the weaknesses of those they love. . .
Leo Tolstoy
God knows, but He's waiting
Leo Tolstoy
All men's instincts, all their impulses in life, are efforts to increase their freedom. Wealth and poverty, health and disease, culture and ignorance, labor and leisure, repletion and hunger, virtue and vice, are all terms for greater or less degree of freedom.
Leo Tolstoy
