More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
If the thought ever comes to you that everything that you have thought about God is mistaken and that there is no God, do not be dismayed. It happens to many people. But do not think that the source of your unbelief is that there is no God.
Leo Tolstoy
Talent is the capacity to direct concentrated attention upon the subject: the gift of seeing what others have not seen.
Leo Tolstoy
When you say, 'I can’t do that,' you're expressing yourself incorrectly. You should say, 'I couldn’t do that before.'
Leo Tolstoy
Man's mind cannot grasp the causes of events in their completeness, but the desire to find the causes is implanted in man's soul.
Leo Tolstoy
Rest, nature, books, music...such is my idea of happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
It is no sin to look at a nice girl.
Leo Tolstoy
Love does not exist. There exists the physical need for intercourse, and the rational need for a mate in life
Leo Tolstoy
No one has yet added up all the heavy, stress-filled workdays as well as the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of lives that are wasted to produce the world's amusements. It is for this reason that amusements are not so amusing.
Leo Tolstoy
An arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance. It interferes with a person's main task in life—becoming a better person.
Leo Tolstoy
Enough or not...it will have to do
Leo Tolstoy
By digging into our souls, we often dig up what might better have remained there unnoticed. Alexis Alexandrovich
Leo Tolstoy
Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
Leo Tolstoy
The magnanimity and sensibility of a lady who faints when she sees a calf being killed: she is so kindhearted that she can't look at blood, but enjoys eating the calf served up with sauce.
Leo Tolstoy
Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.
Leo Tolstoy
He remembered his mother's love for him, and his family's, and his friends', and the enemy's intention to kill him seemed impossible.
Leo Tolstoy
the same question arose in every soul: For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?... p982
Leo Tolstoy
Life did not stop, and one had to live.
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're asleep until we love.
Leo Tolstoy
People understand the meaning of eating lies in the nourishment of the body only when they cease to consider that the object of that activity is pleasure. ...People understand the meaning of art only when they cease to consider that the aim of that activity is beauty, i.e., pleasure.
Leo Tolstoy
