"Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced." ― Leo Tolstoy Topic(s): Dreams More From Leo Tolstoy "One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken." "The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life." "In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful." More In Dreams "I tell kids to pursue their basketball dreams, but I tell them to not let that be their only dream."― Kareem Abdul-Jabbar "I’ve succeeded beyond my wildest dreams – financially and the amount of fun I have in my life."― Phil Hartman "The fact that I’m very close with my past relationships is something I pride myself on. My mom is still close to her first husband. It’s nice to be able to enjoy someone in a different form."― Kate Bosworth
