Leo Tolstoy

True life is lived when tiny changes occur.

Everything intelligent is so boring.

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.

Life did not stop, and one had to live.

The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light; the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness…

There is something in the human spirit that will survive and prevail, there is a tiny and brilliant light burning in the heart of man that will not go out no matter how dark the world becomes.

There are no limitations to any of our dreams.

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

A mistake is to commit a misunderstanding.

Every lie is a poison; there are no harmless lies. Only the truth is safe. Only the truth gives me consolation – it is the one unbreakable diamond.

I don’t let go of concepts – I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.

When I am old, weather-worn, and grey, I want to fill my lungs with your perfume and hear your laughter echo through our home as we dance alone in our living room, drunk off wine, still madly in love.

Water from the white fountain didn’t taste any better than from the black fountain.

Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still.

Now payback is a bad bitch and baby, I’m the baddest.

I believe that everything in life happens for a reason.

Keep on going and the chances are you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard of anyone stumbling on something sitting down.

Forgiveness is just another name for freedom.

The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.

I am become death, shatterer of worlds.
