More quotes by Boris Pasternak
Salvation lies not in the faithfulness to forms, but in the liberation from them.
Boris Pasternak
They loved each other, not driven by necessity, by the blaze of passion often falsely ascribed to love. They loved each other because everything around them willed it, the trees and the clouds and the sky over their heads and the earth under their feet.
Boris Pasternak

Boris Pasternak

Boris Pasternak

Boris Pasternak
You are eternity's hostage A captive of mine.
Boris Pasternak
I love you wildly, insanely, infinitely.
Boris Pasternak
Immensely grateful, touched, proud, astonished, abashed.
Boris Pasternak
As in an explosion, I would erupt with all the wonderful things I saw and understood in this world.
Boris Pasternak
A corner draft fluttered the flame And the white fever of temptation Upswept its angel wings that cast A cruciform shadow.
Boris Pasternak
But the division in him was a sorrow and a torment, and he became accustomed to it only as one gets used to an unhealed and frequently reopened wound.
Boris Pasternak
As before the collapse, the setting sun brushed the tiles, brought out the warm brown glow on the wallpaper, and hung the shadow of the birch on the wall as if it were a woman's scarf.
Boris Pasternak
No single man makes history. History cannot be seen just as one cannot see grass growing.
Boris Pasternak
