Leo Tolstoy
It is not beauty that endears, it's love that makes us see beauty.
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

Leo Tolstoy
