More quotes by Alexander Pushkin

Alexander Pushkin
Cabbage soup and barley. They're Russia's national food. Both excellent in their way, but a shade monotonous.
Alexander Pushkin
A deception that elevates us is dearer than a host of low truths.
Alexander Pushkin
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.
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
Don't be sad, don't be angry, if life deceives you! Submit to your grief - your time for joy will come, believe me.

Better the illusions that exalt us than ten thousand truths.
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
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
If you but knew the flames that burn in me which I attempt to beat down with my reason.

Thus people--so it seems to me-- Become good friends from sheer ennui.
Alexander Pushkin
I was not born to amuse the Tsars.
Alexander Pushkin
It is better to have dreamed a thousand dreams that never were than never to have dreamed at all.
Alexander Pushkin
Moral maxims are surprisingly useful on occasions when we can invent little else to justify our actions.
Alexander Pushkin
