Abstinence Quote by Leo Tolstoy
““From another visitor to Yasnaya Polyana we learn that Tolstoy and his two daughters are vegetarians. The young countesses do not object to milk and eggs, but Tolstoy himself rejects flesh foods, animal products, tobacco, coffee, tea, sugar, and all alcoholic liquors. He uses oil instead of butter, drinks a beverage made from almonds, and replaces tea by a decoction of raisins.””
