Inspiration by Tolstoy

Posted in

An idea becomes close to you only when you are aware of it in your soul, when in reading about it, it seems to you that it hass already ocurred to you, that you know it and are simply recalling it. That’s how it was when I read the Gospels. In the Gospels I discovered a new world: I had not supposed there was such a depth of thought in them. Yet it all seemed so familiar; it seemed that I had known it all long ago, that I had only forgotten it.
