"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." ― Leo Tolstoy Topic(s): Death More From Leo Tolstoy "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." "One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken." "A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite." More In Death "Emigration is no longer a solution; it’s a defeat. People are risking death, drowning every day, but they’re knocking on doors that are not open."― Tahar Ben Jelloun "I went to medical school because I wanted to ask the big questions. Do we have a soul? Does God exist? What happens after death?"― Deepak Chopra "Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye."― Francois de La Rochefoucauld
