Leo Tolstoy

True life is lived when tiny changes occur.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.

To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.

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

In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful.
