I think... if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.
Leo TolstoyGood fiction doesn't come out of the basic conflict of good versus bad. Instead, it comes out of a conflict between good and good.
Leo TolstoyEvery man had his personal habits, passions, and impulses toward goodness, beauty, and truth.
Leo TolstoyThough it is possible to utter words only with the intention to fulfill the will of God, it is very difficult not to think about the impression which they will produce on men and not to form them accordingly. But deeds you can do quite unknown to men, only for God. And such deeds are the greatest joy that a man can experience.
