An arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance. It interferes with a person's main task in lifeโbecoming a better person.
Leo TolstoyAnd those who only know the non-platonic love have no need to talk of tragedy. In such love there can be no sort of tragedy.
Leo TolstoyIn infinite time, in infinite matter, in infinite space, is formed a bubble organism, and that bubble lasts a while and bursts, and that bubble is Me.
Leo TolstoyLoving with human love, one may pass from love to hatred; but divine love cannot change. Nothing, not even death, can shatter it. It is all the very nature of the soul. Love is life. All, all that I understand, I understand only because of love. All is bound up in love alone. Love is God and dying means for me a particle of love, to go back to the universal and eternal source of love.
Leo Tolstoy
