Image
I must write each day without fail, not so much for the success of the work, as in order not to get out of my routine.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
He was right in saying that the only certain happiness in life is to live for others.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
This is where the strength of the physician lies, be he a quack, a homeopath or an allopath. He supplies the perennial demand for comfort, the craving for sympathy that every human sufferer feels.
Leo Tolstoy

You will die and it will all be over. You will die and find out everything or cease asking.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
Image
It's all God's will: you can die in your sleep, and God can spare you in battle.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
I don't allow myself to doubt myself even for a moment.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
In Varenka, she realized that one has but to forget oneself and love others, and one will be calm, happy, and noble.
Leo Tolstoy

I don't think badly of people. I like everybody, and I'm sorry for everybody.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
There can be no peace for us, only misery, and the greatest happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Each time of life has its own kind of love.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
In order to know what he is, a man must first know what the sum of this mysterious humanity is, a humanity made up of people who, like himself, do not understand what they are.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The possibility of killing one's self is a safety valve. Having it, man has no right to say life is unbearable.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
He had heard that women often love plain ordinary men, but he did not believe it, because he judged by himself and he could only love beautiful mysterious exceptional women.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Music is love in search of a voice.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Childhood candor... shall I ever find you again?
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The kinder and the more thoughtful a person is, the more kindness he can find in other people.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The subject of history is the life of peoples and of humanity. To catch and pin down in words--that is, to describe directly the life, not only of humanity, but even of a single people, appears to be impossible.
