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
Not one word, not one gesture of yours shall I, could I, ever forget.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
When I have one foot in the grave, I will tell the whole truth about women. I shall tell it, jump into my coffin, pull the lid over me and say, Do what you like now.
Leo Tolstoy

Commit no act that is contrary to love.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.

We lost because we told ourselves we lost.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Yes, there is something in me hateful, repulsive, thought Ljewin, as he came away from the Schtscherbazkijs', and walked in the direction of his brother's lodgings. And I don't get on with other people. Pride, they say. No, I have no pride. If I had any pride, I should not have put myself in such a position.
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.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
Beautiful as seemed mama's face, it became more lovely when she smiled and seemed to enliven everything about her.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
You consider war to be inevitable? Very good. Let everyone who advocates war be enrolled in a special regiment of advance-guards, for the front of every storm, of every attack, to lead them all!
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Men need only trust in Christ's teaching and obey it, and there will be peace on earth.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Read less, study less, but think more
Leo Tolstoy
Image
There can be only one permanent revolution- a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
In our age the common religious perception of men is the consciousness of the brotherhood of man - we know that the well-being of man lies in the union with his fellow men. True science should indicate the various methods of applying this consciousness to life. Art should transform this perception into feeling.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
In all human sorrow nothing gives comfort but love and faith, and that in the sight of Christ's compassion for us no sorrow is trifiling.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Vengeance is mine I will repay.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
If so many men, so many minds, certainly so many hearts, so many kinds of love.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
It is not beauty that endears, it's love that makes us see beauty.
Leo Tolstoy
