More quotes by Alexander Pushkin
'Tis time, my friend, 'tis time! For rest the heart is aching Days follow days in flight, and every day is taking, Fragments of being, while together you and I, Make plans to live. Look, all is dust, and we shall die.
Alexander Pushkin
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
Please, never despise the translator. He's the mailman of human civilization.
Alexander Pushkin
I want to understand you, I study your obscure language.
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
Mistress-like, its brilliance vain, highly capricious and inane.
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
I was not born to amuse the Tsars.
Alexander Pushkin
Ecstasy is a glass full of tea and a piece of sugar in the mouth.
Alexander Pushkin
It is better to have dreamed a thousand dreams that never were than never to have dreamed at all.
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
With womankind, the less we love them, the easier they become to charm.
Alexander Pushkin
A deception that elevates us is dearer than a host of low truths.
Alexander Pushkin
Inspiration is needed in geometry, just as much as in poetry.
Alexander Pushkin
Habit is Heaven's own redress: it takes the place of happiness.
Alexander Pushkin
The less we show our love to a woman, Or please her less, and neglect our duty, The more we trap and ruin her surely, In the flattering toils of philandery.
Alexander Pushkin
Fearing no insult, asking for no crown, receive with indifference both flattery and slander, and do not argue with a fool.
Alexander Pushkin
I am married and happy. My only wish is that nothing will change.
Alexander Pushkin
Cabbage soup and barley. They're Russia's national food. Both excellent in their way, but a shade monotonous.
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
