Akshay Vasu

"We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words - to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it."

Leo Tolstoy
"Men are like rivers: the water is the same in each, and alike in all; but every river is narrow here, is more rapid there, here slower, there broader, now clear, now cold, now dull, now warm. It is the same with men. Every man carries in himself the germs of every human quality, and sometimes one manifests itself, sometimes another, and the man often becomes unlike himself, while still remaining the same man."

Psychology

Leo Tolstoy
"Everybody thinks of changing humanity and nobody thinks of changing himself."

Self

Quote_1.png
Leo Tolstoy
"Faith is the sense of life, that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself, but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live."

Faith

Quote_1.png
Leo Tolstoy
"But that's the whole aim of civilization: to make everything a source of enjoyment."

Society

Quote_1.png
Leo Tolstoy
"He never chooses an opinion; he just wears whatever happens to be in style."

Opinion

Quote_1.png
Leo Tolstoy
"Oh God! what am I to do if I love nothing but fame and men's esteem?"

Desire

Quote_1.png
Leo Tolstoy
"Was it by reason that I attained to the knowledge that I must love my neighbor and not to throttle him?. They told me so when I was a child, and I gladly believed it, because they told me what was already in my soul. But who discovered it? Not reason! Reason has discovered the struggle for existence and the law that I must throttle all those who hinder the satisfaction of my desires. That is the deduction reason makes. But the law of loving others couldn't be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable."

Philosophy

Quote_1.png
Leo Tolstoy
"Perhaps you think I'm losing the thread of my thought? Not a bit of it! I'm still telling you the story of how I murdered my wife, They asked me in court how I killed her, what I used to do it with. Imbeciles! They thought I killed her that day, the fifth of October, with a knife. It wasn't that day I killed her, it was much earlier. Exactly in the same way as they're killing their wives now, all of them..."

Crime

Quote_1.png
Leo Tolstoy
"Can it be that there is not enough space for man in this beautiful world, under those immeasurable, starry heavens? Is it possible that man's heart can harbour, amid such ravishing natural beauty, feelings of hatred, vengeance, or the desire to destroy his fellows? All the evil in man, one would think, should disappear on contact with Nature, the most spontaneous expression of beauty and goodness."

Humanity

Quote_1.png
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."
