Quote from Tolstoy

[Brewer, Michael]

You can search for keywords (geroi, etc.) using Feb-web and should probably be able to sort this out.  It is not terribly user friendly, but does have a huge amount of text in there to search (I believe all Tolstoi's published works). http://feb-web.ru/indexen.htm .

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The quote is cited in an unpublished letter by Katherine Mansfield, the New Zealand-born writer of short stories.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?
