PROFOUND QUOTES BY LEO TOLSTOY

"All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do."

"Boredom: the desire for desires."

"It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness."

"Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source."

"The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity."

"And all people live, not by reason of any care they have for themselves, but by the love for them that is in other people."

"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time."

"Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible."

"All happy families resemble one another, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
