More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
The ideas of the wise have been tested by centuries. Everything medium is lost and only original, deep and useful things are left.
Leo Tolstoy
Man by violating his own feelings becomes cruel. And how deeply seated in the human heart is the injunction not to take life.
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
I don't want to prove anything I merely want to live, to do no one harm but myself. I have the right to do that, haven't I?
Leo Tolstoy
He sought his former accustomed fear of death and did not find it. Where is it? What death? There was no fear because there was no death. In place of death there was light.
Leo Tolstoy
but my life now, my whole life apart from anything that can happen to me, every minute of it is no more meaningless, as it was before, but it has the positive meaning of goodness, which I have the power to put into it.
Leo Tolstoy
Honest work is much better than a mansion.
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
Friends we shall never be, you know that yourself. Whether we shall be the happiest or the wretchedest of people--that's in your hands.
Leo Tolstoy
Are we not all flung into the world for no other purpose than to hate each other, and so to torture ourselves and one another?
Leo Tolstoy
In order to obtain and hold power a man must love it. Thus the effort to get it is not likely to be coupled with goodness, but with the opposite qualities of pride, craft and cruelty.
Leo Tolstoy
Art begins when a man, with a purpose of communicating to other people a feeling he once experienced, calls it up again within himself and expresses it by certain external signs.
Leo Tolstoy
It seems that it is impossible to live without discovering the purpose of your life. And the first thing which a person should do is to understand the meaning of life. But the majority of people who consider themselves to be educated are proud that they have reached such great height that they cease to care about the meaning of existence.
Leo Tolstoy
Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
Leo Tolstoy
I was now prepared to accept any faith so long as it did not demand a direct denial of reason, which would have been a deceit.
Leo Tolstoy
When one's head is gone one doesn't weep for one's hair!
Leo Tolstoy
I think... if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.
Leo Tolstoy
Whenever my life came to a halt, the questions would arise: Why? And what next?
Leo Tolstoy
the same question arose in every soul: For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?... p982
Leo Tolstoy
Science is meaningless because it gives no answer to our question, the only question important for us: 'What shall we do and how shall we live?'
Leo Tolstoy
