Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

“Everything intelligent is so boring.”

Leo Tolstoy

“Stepan Arkadyevitch had not chosen his political opinions or his views; these political opinions and views had come to him of themselves, just as he did not choose the shapes of his hat and coat, but simply took those that were being worn. ”

“I think love, both kinds of love, which you remember Plato defines in his "Symposium" - both kinds of love serve a touchstone for men. Some men understand only the one, some only the other.

And for the platonic love there can be no tragedy either, because there everything is clear and pure.”

Leo Tolstoy
