Subject: [SEELANGS] Quote from Tolstoy

Dear colleagues,

I have been asked to provide the exact source for a quote from Tolstoy:
'there are no heroes but only people'. 
The quote is cited in an unpublished letter by Katherine Mansfield, the New
Zealand-born writer of short stories.

Dictionaries of quotations mention the quote as coming from Tolstoy, but
don't say from where. 
Is there a Concordance of Tolstoy's works?
Could some Tolstoy expert kindly help me identify this quote?
