two Tolstoy items

[LeBlanc, Ronald]

Dear SEELANGS Colleagues,

Can anyone help me to locate the source of the two following Tolstoy (Lev Nikolaevich) items:

(1)	his characterization of Nietzsche as a “clever feuilletonist,” an amoral “madman,” and a “prophet of egoism” (rather than a bona fide philosopher)? 

(2)	this quote: “Buddha and Christ spoke a truth that is as true today as it was six thousand years ago.  This truth only becomes more comprehensible in larger and larger measure through time.  But we no longer pay attention to what great minds were saying a thousand years ago.  Yet what today’s thinkers are saying will not be known in even a hundred years.”

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,

Ron
