More quotes by Alexander Pushkin
Try to be forgotten. Go live in the country. Stay in mourning for two years, then remarry, but choose somebody decent.
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

Alexander Pushkin
Thus people--so it seems to me-- Become good friends from sheer ennui.
Alexander Pushkin
Fearing no insult, asking for no crown, receive with indifference both flattery and slander, and do not argue with a fool.

My dreams, my dreams! What has become of their sweetness? What indeed has become of my youth?

Please, never despise the translator. He's the mailman of human civilization.
Alexander Pushkin
Sad that our finest aspiration, Our freshest dreams and meditations, In swift succession should decay, Like Autumn leaves that rot away.
Alexander Pushkin
Ecstasy is a glass full of tea and a piece of sugar in the mouth.

Better the illusions that exalt us than ten thousand truths.

Play interests me very much, said Hermann: but I am not in the position to sacrifice the necessary in the hope of winning the superfluous.
