Alexander Pushkin
I want to understand you, I study your obscure language.
Alexander Pushkin
As long as there is one heart on Earth where I still live, my memory will not die.

Alexander Pushkin
I loved you even now I may confess, Some embers of my love their fire retain But do not let it cause you more distress, I do not want to sadden you again. Hopeless and tongue tied, yet I loved you dearly With pangs the jealous and the timid know So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely, I pray God grant another love you so.
Alexander Pushkin
Unrequited love is not an affront to man but raises him.
Alexander Pushkin

Moscow... how many strains are fusing in that one sound, for Russian hearts! What store of riches it imparts!
Alexander Pushkin
I am married and happy. My only wish is that nothing will change.
Alexander Pushkin
Please, never despise the translator. He's the mailman of human civilization.
Alexander Pushkin
Inspiration is needed in geometry, just as much as in poetry.
Alexander Pushkin
In this, our age of infamy Man's choice is but to be A tyrant, traitor, prisoner: No other choice has he.
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
A man who's active and incisive can yet keep nail-care much in mind: why fight what's known to be decisive? Custom is despot of mankind.
Alexander Pushkin
