Leo Tolstoy
In infinite time, in infinite matter, in infinite space, is formed a bubble organism, and that bubble lasts a while and bursts, and that bubble is Me.
Leo Tolstoy
Effort is not a means to lead us to happiness. Effort itself is happiness
Leo Tolstoy
The true office of any faith is to give life a meaning which death cannot destroy.
