Quote by Leo Tolstoy
If there was a reason why he preferred the liberal tendency to the conservative one (also held to by many of his circle), it was not because he found the liberal tendency more sensible, but it more closely suited his manner of life.
Summary
This quote suggests that the individual discussed in the statement has a preference for the liberal tendency over the conservative one, not because he believes it is more reasonable, but because it aligns better with his lifestyle. In other words, rather than basing his choice on ideological or logical grounds, he chooses the liberal tendency because it matches his personal way of living.
