More quotes by 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
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
Then came a moment of renaissance, I looked up - you again are there, A fleeting vision, the quintessence Of all that`s beautiful and rare.
Alexander Pushkin
It is better to have dreamed a thousand dreams that never were than never to have dreamed at all.
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
Sad that our finest aspiration, Our freshest dreams and meditations, In swift succession should decay, Like Autumn leaves that rot away.
Alexander Pushkin
Mistress-like, its brilliance vain, highly capricious and inane.
Alexander Pushkin
Please, never despise the translator. He's the mailman of human civilization.
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
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 am married and happy. My only wish is that nothing will change.
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 was not born to amuse the Tsars.
Alexander Pushkin
Cabbage soup and barley. They're Russia's national food. Both excellent in their way, but a shade monotonous.
Alexander Pushkin
I want to understand you, I study your obscure language.
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
As long as there is one heart on Earth where I still live, my memory will not die.
Alexander Pushkin
With womankind, the less we love them, the easier they become to charm.
Alexander Pushkin
Moscow... how many strains are fusing in that one sound, for Russian hearts! What store of riches it imparts!
Alexander Pushkin
My whole life has been pledged to this meeting with you.
Alexander Pushkin
