Tolstoyan movement
The Tolstoyan movement is a social movement based on the philosophical and religious views of Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910). Tolstoy's views were formed by rigorous study of the ministry of Jesus, particularly the Sermon on the Mount.
Tolstoy expressed "great joy" that groups of people "have been springing up, not only in Russia but in various parts of Europe, who are in complete agreement with our views." However, the author also thought it was a mistake to create a specific movement or doctrine after him, urging individuals to listen to their own conscience rather than blindly follow his. In regard to a letter he received from an adherent, he wrote:
Beliefs and practices
Tolstoyans (Russian:Толстовцы, Tolstovtsy) identify themselves as Christians, but do not generally belong to an institutional Church. Tolstoy was a harsh critic of the Russian Orthodox Church, leading to his excommunication in 1901. Tolstoyans tend to focus more on following the teachings of Jesus, rather than on his miracles or divinity.

by: RazorlightWell I know a girl
She told me everything she'd done
She said, with these tiny hands
How am I gonna catch some fun?
I said, well all of your words
Everything you do
All of your action
I need it from you
No not really
Cause we just can't do that
We just ain't got the time, time
You just can't give it up
Give it up, give it up, give it up
To look deep in your eyes
To look deep in your eyes
To look deep in your eyes
To look deep in your eyes
You and I, oh what a life
We just talk and talk and talk
Until the end of the night
I said, well all of your words
Everything you do
All of your action
I need it from you
Oh no not really
Cause we just can't do that
Oh, we might as well forget it
If you just can't give it up
Give it up, give it up, give it up
To look deep in your eyes
To look deep in your eyes
To look deep in your eyes
To look deep in your eyes
The night
We're
Just satellites
We don't talk
We don't speak
We don't move
When we meet
