More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
The political is not compatible with the artistic, because the former, in order to prove, has to be one-sided.
Leo Tolstoy
I have discovered nothing new I have only perceived what I already knew.
Leo Tolstoy
The law condemns and punishes only actions within certain definite and narrow limits it thereby justifies, in a way, all similar actions that lie outside those limits.
Leo Tolstoy
it's much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it.
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
I ask one thing only: I ask for the right to hope, to suffer as I do. But if even that cannot be, command me to disappear, and I disappear. You shall not see me if my presence is distasteful to you.
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
The law of violence is not a law, but a simple fact which can only be a law when it does not meet with protest and opposition. It is like the cold, darkness and weight, which people had to put up with until recently when warmth, illumination and leverage were discovered.
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
Happiness consists of living each day as if it were the first day of your honeymoon and the last day of your vacation.
Leo Tolstoy
The greater the state, the more wrong and cruel its patriotism, and the greater is the sum of suffering upon which its power is founded.
Leo Tolstoy
We lost because we told ourselves we lost.
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
Rest, nature, books, music...such is my idea of happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
No one is satisfied with his position, but every one is satisfied with his wit
Leo Tolstoy
Before we can study the central issues of life today, we must destroy the prejudices and fallacies born of previous centuries.
Leo Tolstoy
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
If you no longer believe in the God in whom you believed in before, this comes from the fact that there was something wrong with your belief, and you must strive to understand better that which you call God.
Leo Tolstoy
All men's instincts, all their impulses in life, are efforts to increase their freedom. Wealth and poverty, health and disease, culture and ignorance, labor and leisure, repletion and hunger, virtue and vice, are all terms for greater or less degree of freedom.
Leo Tolstoy
Each time of life has its own kind of love.
Leo Tolstoy
