Leo Tolstoy: Quotes

  • Beauty
    It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.Leo Tolstoy: The Kreutzer Sonata
  • Boredom and Bores
    . . . the desire for desires—boredom.Leo Tolstoy: Anna Karenina
  • Family
    All happy families are like one another; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.Leo Tolstoy: Anna Karenina
  • Health and Fitness
    Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that, it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself, it will do more than if you paralyze it by encumbering it with remedies.Leo Tolstoy: War and Peace
