Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
I read in the newspaper about the executions, about the crimes that led to the executions and the corruption of the church became so clear to me. A corruption under the cover of Christianity, by perverting the mind, and the state, by legislating, not only justifying, but also by extolling pride, ambition, greed, humiliating people and especially any kind of violence, murders during wars and executions . It would seem that it is so clear, but no one sees, does not want to see this. And they, all of them, church and state alike, though they see how evil proliferates, continue to produce it. As if some people who only know how to have land and have only the tools for plowing, who can survive only by their work, by plowing, would plow the field where the grain is already growing. If in their time church and state were necessary, in our times they are manifestly harmful and corrupt.
