Leo Tolstoy Quotes

But What Is Chance? What Is Genius?
The Words Chance And Genius Do Not Denote Any Really Existing Thing And Therefore Cannot Be Defined. Those Words Only Denote A Certain Stage Of Understanding Of Phenomena. I Do Not Know Why A Certain Event Occurs; I Think That I Cannot Know It; So I Do Not Try To Know It And I Talk About Chance. I See A Force Producing Effects Beyond The Scope Of Ordinary Human Agencies; I Do Not Understand Why This Occurs And I Talk Of Genius.
To A Heard Of Rams, That Ram The Herdsman Dries Each Evening Into A Special Enclosure To Feed, And That Becomes Twice As Fat As The Others, Must Seem To Be A Genius.
