Leo Tolstoy
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
We are asleep until we fall in love.
If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.
Boredom: the desire for desires.
All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
I am always with myself and it is I who am my tormentor.
As long as there are slaughterhouses there will be battlefields.
True life is lived when tiny changes occur.
The only thing that we know is that we know nothing and that is the highest flight of human wisdom.
He who has a mistaken idea of life, will always have a mistaken idea of death.
Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
What a strange illusion it is to suppose that beauty is goodness.
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.
Everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.
We lost because we told ourselves we lost.
All happy families are alike, but an unhappy family is unhappy after its own fashion.
He never chooses an opinion, he just wears whatever happens to be in style.
There is no greatness where simplicity, goodness and truth are absent.
Only those live who do good.
