More quotes by 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
To say that you can love one person all your life is just like saying that one candle will continue burning as long as you live.
Leo Tolstoy
We should show life neither as it is or as it ought to be, but only as we see it in our dreams.
Leo Tolstoy
Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that other people are infected by these feelings, and also experience them.
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
There was no solution, save that universal solution which life gives to all questions, even the most complex and insolvable: One must live in the needs of the day--that is, forget oneself.
Leo Tolstoy
And you know, there's less charm in life when you think about death--but it's more peaceful.
Leo Tolstoy
Each time of life has its own kind of love.
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
Loving the same man or woman all your life, why, that's like supposing the same candle could last you all your life
Leo Tolstoy
In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.
Leo Tolstoy
I can’t think of you and myself apart. You and I are the same to me
Leo Tolstoy
Religion reveals the meaning of life, and science only applies this meaning to the course of circumstances.
Leo Tolstoy
It is no sin to look at a nice girl.
Leo Tolstoy
In our age the common religious perception of men is the consciousness of the brotherhood of man - we know that the well-being of man lies in the union with his fellow men. True science should indicate the various methods of applying this consciousness to life. Art should transform this perception into feeling.
Leo Tolstoy
Vegetarianism serves as the criterion by which we know that the pursuit of moral perfection on the part of humanity is genuine and sincere.
Leo Tolstoy
We love people not so much for the good they've done us, as for the good we've done them.
Leo Tolstoy
The essence of any religion lies solely in the answer to the question: why do I exist, and what is my relationship to the infinite universe that surrounds me?
Leo Tolstoy
There is nothing more harmful to you than improving only your material, animal side of life. There is nothing more beneficial, both for you and for others, than activity directed to the improvement of your soul.
Leo Tolstoy
but that what was for him the greatest and most cruel injustice appeared to others a quite ordinary occurrence.
Leo Tolstoy
