More quotes by Alexander Pushkin
I’ve lived to bury my desires, And see my dreams corrode with rust Now all that’s left are fruitless fires That burn my empty heart to dust.
Alexander Pushkin
To love all ages yield surrender But to the young it's raptures bring A blessing bountiful and tender- As storms refresh the fields of spring.
Alexander Pushkin
Love passed, the Muse appeared, the weather of mind got clarity new-found now free, I once more weave together emotion, thought, and magic sound.
Alexander Pushkin

Alexander Pushkin
I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul The former love has never gone away, But let it not recall to you my dole I wish not sadden you in any way. I loved you silently, without hope, fully, In diffidence, in jealousy, in pain I loved you so tenderly and truly, As let you else be loved by any man.
Alexander Pushkin
Cabbage soup and barley. They're Russia's national food. Both excellent in their way, but a shade monotonous.
Alexander Pushkin
Inspiration is needed in geometry, just as much as in poetry.
Alexander Pushkin
Moscow... how many strains are fusing in that one sound, for Russian hearts! What store of riches it imparts!
Alexander Pushkin
It is better to have dreamed a thousand dreams that never were than never to have dreamed at all.
Alexander Pushkin
Thus people--so it seems to me-- Become good friends from sheer ennui.
Alexander Pushkin
As long as there is one heart on Earth where I still live, my memory will not die.
