Boris Pasternak
To be a woman is a great adventure To drive men mad is a heroic thing.

Boris Pasternak
Salvation lies not in the faithfulness to forms, but in the liberation from them.
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
Good-bye... why am I hemorrhaging ?
Boris Pasternak
We're all time's captives, hostages to eternity.
Boris Pasternak
Art always serves beauty, and beauty is the joy of possessing form, and form is the key to organic life since no living thing can exist without it.
Boris Pasternak
What you don't understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.
Boris Pasternak
It is not the object described that matters, but the light that falls on it.
Boris Pasternak
