A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
- Leo Tolstoy

The epitaph that I would write for history would say: I conceal nothing. It is not enough not to lie. One should strive not to lie in a negative sense by remaining silent.
- Tolstoy

And this one dedicated to FLvegan:

As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields.
- Leo Tolstoy, author (1828-1910)
