More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Men are so accustomed to maintaining external order by violence that they cannot conceive of life being possible without violence.
Leo Tolstoy
Often a man goes on for years imaging that the religious teaching that had been imparted to him since childhood is still intact, while all the time there is not a trace of it left in him.
Leo Tolstoy
I have learned what must be, and therefore have come to see the whole horror of what is.
Leo Tolstoy
Men pray to the Almighty to relieve poverty. But poverty comes not from God's laws-it is blasphemy of the worst kind to say that. Poverty comes from man's injustice to his fellow man.
Leo Tolstoy
Rest, nature, books, music...such is my idea of happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.
Leo Tolstoy
They ought to find out how to vaccinate for love, like smallpox.
Leo Tolstoy
But I'm glad you'll see me as I am. Above all, I wouldn't want people to think that I want to prove anything. I don't want to prove anything, I just want to live to cause no evil to anyone but myself. I have that right, haven't I?
Leo Tolstoy
The true office of any faith is to give life a meaning which death cannot destroy.
Leo Tolstoy
Error is the force that welds men together truth is communicated to men only by deeds of truth.
Leo Tolstoy
In order to correctly define art, it is necessary, first of all, to cease to consider it as a means to pleasure and consider it as one of the conditions of human life. ...Reflecting on it in this way, we cannot fail to observe that art is one of the means of effective communication between people.
Leo Tolstoy
The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity by contributing to the establishment of the kingdom of God, which can only be done by the recognition and profession of the truth by every man.
Leo Tolstoy
I have now understood that though it seems to men that they live by care for themselves, in truth it is love alone by which they live. He who has love, is in God, and God is in him, for God is love.
Leo Tolstoy
He who has love, is in God, and God is in him, for God is love.
Leo Tolstoy
It is no sin to look at a nice girl.
Leo Tolstoy
Until you do what you believe in, you don't know whether you believe it or not.
Leo Tolstoy
No one is satisfied with his position, but every one is satisfied with his wit
Leo Tolstoy
Whatever question arose, a swarm of these drones, without having finished their buzzing on a previous theme, flew over to the new one and by their hum drowned and obscured the voices of those who were disputing honestly.
Leo Tolstoy
She was in that highly-wrought state when the reasoning powers act with great rapidity: the state a man is in before a battle or a struggle, in danger, and at the decisive moments of life - those moments when a man shows once and for all what he is worth, that his past was not lived in vain but was a preparation for these moments.
Leo Tolstoy
We walked to meet each other up at the time of our love and then we have been irresistibly drifting in different directions, and there's no altering that.
Leo Tolstoy
