Leo Tolstoy Quotes

My Life Came To A Standstill. I Could Breathe, Eat, Drink And Sleep, And I Could Not Help Doing These Things; But There Was No Life, For There Were No Wishes The Fulfilment Of Which I Could Consider Reasonable. If I Desired Anything, I Knew In Advance That Whether I Satisfied My Desire Or Not, Nothing Would Come Of It. Had A Fairy Come And Offered To Fulfil My Desires I Should Not Have Known What To Ask. If In Moments Of Intoxication I Felt Something Which, Though Not A Wish, Was A Habit Left By Former Wishes, In Sober Moments I Knew This To Be A Delusion And That There Was Really Nothing To Wish For. I Could Not Even Wish To Know The Truth, For I Guess Of What It Consisted. The Truth Was That Life Is Meaningless.
