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.

More quotes by 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

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.
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: 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

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
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
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
As long as there is one heart on Earth where I still live, my memory will not die.
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
Ecstasy is a glass full of tea and a piece of sugar in the mouth.
Alexander Pushkin
