My favourites from Leo Tolstoy:

"Music is the shorthand of emotion."

"One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken."

"Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible."
"Boredom: the desire for desires."

“I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one’s neighbor-such is my idea of happiness. And then, on top of all that, you for a mate, and children, perhaps-what more can the heart of man desire?”
