Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
What is important is not the length of life, but the depth of life. What is important is not to make life longer, but to take your soul out of time, as every sublime act does.
Leo Tolstoy
Life did not stop, and one had to live.
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
God knows, but He's waiting
Leo Tolstoy
War is not a polite recreation but the vilest thing in life, and we ought to understand that and not play at war.
Leo Tolstoy
My piece of bread only belongs to me when I know that everyone else has a share, and that no one starves while I eat.
Leo Tolstoy
If religion is the establishing of a relationship between man and the universe, then morality is the explanation of those activities that automatically result when a person maintains a relationship to the universe.
Leo Tolstoy
