Ballet is a dance executed by the human soul.
Alexander Pushkin
Cabbage soup and barley. They're Russia's national food. Both excellent in their way, but a shade monotonous.
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
It is better to have dreamed a thousand dreams that never were than never to have dreamed at all.
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
Better the illusions that exalt us than ten thousand truths.
Alexander Pushkin
Thus people--so it seems to me-- Become good friends from sheer ennui.

Ecstasy is a glass full of tea and a piece of sugar in the mouth.
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
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
I do not like Moscow life. You live here not as you want to live, but as old women want you to.
Alexander Pushkin
A deception that elevates us is dearer than a host of low truths.
Alexander Pushkin
Two fixed ideas can no more exist together in the moral world than two bodies can occupy one and the same place in the physical world.
Alexander Pushkin
Moscow... how many strains are fusing in that one sound, for Russian hearts! What store of riches it imparts!
Alexander Pushkin
My dreams, my dreams! What has become of their sweetness? What indeed has become of my youth?
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
Inspiration is needed in geometry, just as much as in poetry.
Alexander Pushkin
Somewhere between obsession and compulsion is impulse.
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
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
