Leo TolstoyOne may say with one's lips: โI believe that the world was created six thousand years ago;โ or, โI believe that Jesus flew away into the skies and is sitting on the right hand of the Father;โ or, โGod is One, and also Three;โ โ but no one can believe it, because the words have no sense.
Leo TolstoyAt school he had done things which had formerly seemed to him very horrid and made him feel disgusted with himself when he did them; but when later on he saw that such actions were done by people of good position and that they did not regard them as wrong, he was able not exactly to regard them as right, but to forget about them entirely or not be at all troubled at remembering them.
