The Kingdom of God is Within You; What is Art? by graf Leo Tolstoy
The present volume contains two contrasting treatises. The first is religious, and shows in Count Tolstoys earnest and eloquent manner the meaning of Christ’s words which he takes for his text, – The Kingdom of God is within you”. The outward forms of religion, however helpful they may be to some souls, are not essential; the superstitions with which Faith sometimes clothes or masks herself may or may not be uplifting; but the foundation of Christianity is the truth contained in Christ’s words, his simple, plain, undogmatic commands and prohibitions”
