More quotes by Alexander Pushkin

Alexander Pushkin

Alexander Pushkin
Habit is Heaven's own redress: it takes the place of happiness.
Alexander Pushkin
Don't be sad, don't be angry, if life deceives you! Submit to your grief - your time for joy will come, believe me.
Alexander Pushkin
My whole life has been pledged to this meeting with you.

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.
