Tolstoy on Love

History Daily

The original photograph was taken in 1908, and eventually colorized to see the fullness of the photo. Russian novelist, Leo Tolstoy, is known as one of the most prized and loved writers up to today. This photo was taken just two years before he died, and he wrote what he believed was ‘the most important thing to him in his final days.’ He said, “Love is life. Everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.”
