Alexander Pushkin
Image
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
Image
Unrequited love is not an affront to man but raises him.
Alexander Pushkin
Image
It's a lucky man, a very lucky man, who is committed to what he believes, who has stifled intellectual detachment and can relax in the luxury of his emotions - like a tipsy traveller resting for the night at wayside inn.
Alexander Pushkin
Image
I do not like Moscow life. You live here not as you want to live, but as old women want you to.
Alexander Pushkin
Image
Try to be forgotten. Go live in the country. Stay in mourning for two years, then remarry, but choose somebody decent.
Alexander Pushkin
Image
Somewhere between obsession and compulsion is impulse.
Alexander Pushkin
Image
Moscow... how many strains are fusing in that one sound, for Russian hearts! What store of riches it imparts!
