Today is the 198th birthday of Leo #Tolstoy - a giant in Russian literature
Tolstoy was born an aristocrat but as well as writing works such as "War and Peace" & "Anna Karenina", he became an ardent Pacifist and one of the primary thinkers of #Christian #Anarchism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_anarchism).
Many of his works are here: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks?query=tolstoy&sort=default&view=grid&per-page=12 - free in both senses.
Happy Birthday Count Tolstoy!

Memento mori — remember death! These are important words. If we kept in mind that we will soon inevitably die, our lives would be completely different. If a person knows that he will die in a half hour, he certainly will not bother doing trivial, stupid, or, especially, bad things during this half hour. Perhaps you have half a century before you die — what makes this any different from a half hour?
