More quotes by Boris Pasternak
He is her glory. Any woman could say it. For every one of them, God is in her child. Mothers of great men must have been familiar with this feeling, but then, all women are mothers of great men -- it isn't their fault if life disappoints them later.
Boris Pasternak
The whole of life is symbolic because the whole of it has meaning.
Boris Pasternak

Boris Pasternak
Art is interested in life at the moment when the ray of power is passing through it.
Boris Pasternak
No deep and strong feeling, such as we may come across here and there in the world, is unmixed with compassion. The more we love, the more the object of our love seems to us to be a victim.
Boris Pasternak
To be a woman is a great adventure To drive men mad is a heroic thing.
Boris Pasternak
Only the solitary seek the truth, and they break with all those who don't love it sufficiently
Boris Pasternak
She was here on earth to make sense of its wild enchantments.
Boris Pasternak
That's metaphysics, my dear fellow. It's forbidden me by my doctor, my stomach won't take it.
Boris Pasternak
At the moment of childbirth, every woman has the same aura of isolation, as though she were abandoned, alone.
Boris Pasternak
Literature is the art of discovering something extraordinary about ordinary people, and saying with ordinary words something extraordinary.
Boris Pasternak
An unshared happiness is not happiness.
