Leo Tolstoy
The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness
If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences, one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves, because to live contrary to one's reason is a most intolerable state, and all men of our time are in such a state
I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back
Historians are like deaf people who go on answering questions that no one has asked them
Boredom: the desire for desires
