Was a Russian writer. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential authors of all time.

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.
One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.
War on the other hand is such a terrible thing, that no man, especially a Christian man, has the right to assume the responsibility of starting it.
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that, it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself.
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.
Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.
