More quotes by Alexander Pushkin
Unrequited love is not an affront to man but raises him.
Alexander Pushkin
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.
Alexander Pushkin
I want to understand you, I study your obscure language.
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
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 do not like Moscow life. You live here not as you want to live, but as old women want you to.
Alexander Pushkin
Better the illusions that exalt us than ten thousand truths.
Alexander Pushkin
My dreams, my dreams! What has become of their sweetness? What indeed has become of my youth?
Alexander Pushkin
Write for pleasure and publish for money.
Alexander Pushkin
Habit is Heaven's own redress: it takes the place of happiness.
Alexander Pushkin
I was not born to amuse the Tsars.
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
Thus people--so it seems to me-- Become good friends from sheer ennui.
Alexander Pushkin
Ecstasy is a glass full of tea and a piece of sugar in the mouth.
Alexander Pushkin
Thank you, darling, for learning to play chess. It is an absolute necessity for any well organized family. (in a letter to his wife)
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
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
Please, never despise the translator. He's the mailman of human civilization.
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
If you but knew the flames that burn in me which I attempt to beat down with my reason.
Alexander Pushkin
