"There is trouble with a wife, but it's even worse with a woman who is not a wife"
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"In historic events, the so-called great men are labels giving names to events, and like labels they have but the smallest connection with the event itself. Every act of theirs, which appears to them an act of their own will, is in an historical sense involuntary and is related to the whole course of history and predestined from eternity."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"Don't seek God in temples. He is close to you. He is within you. Only you should surrender to Him and you will rise above happiness and unhappiness."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"It is true, I deny the incomprehensible Trinity, and the fable regarding the fall of man, which is absurd in our day. It is true, I deny the sacrilegious story of a God born of a virgin to redeem the race."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"It is easier to produce ten volumes of philosophical writing than to put one principle into practice"
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"Joy can be real only if people look on their life as a service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"If it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"Some mathematician has said pleasure lies not in discovering truth, but in seeking it."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator the smaller the fraction."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"Woman, you see, is an object of such a kind that study it as much as you will, it is always quite new."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"The only thing that we know is that we know nothing and that is the highest flight of human wisdom."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"True science investigates and brings to human perception such truths and such knowledge as the people of a given time and society consider most important. Art transmits these truths from the region of perception."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"The sobs and tears of joy he had not foreseen rose with such force within him that his whole body shook and for a long time prevented him from speaking. Falling on his knees by her bed. He held his wife's hand to his lips and kissed it, and her hand responded to his kisses with weak movement of finger. Meanwhile, at the foot of the bed, in the midwife's expert hands, like the flame of a lamp, flickered the life of a human being who had never existed before..."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"A writer is dear and necessary for us only in the measure of which he reveals to us the inner workings of his very soul."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking;"
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
