I love you wildly, insanely, infinitely.
Boris Pasternak
You are eternity's hostage A captive of mine.
Boris Pasternak
As in an explosion, I would erupt with all the wonderful things I saw and understood in this world.
Boris Pasternak
The whole wide world is a cathedral I stand inside, the air is calm, And from afar at times there reaches My ear the echo of a psalm.
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
Immensely grateful, touched, proud, astonished, abashed.
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
In life it is more necessary to lose than to gain. A seed will only germinate if it dies.
Boris Pasternak
I have been writing in spurts, bit by bit. It is incredibly difficult. Everything is corroded, broken, dismantled everything is covered with hardened layers of accumulated insensitivity, deafness, entrenched routine. It is disgusting.

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
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
Art is interested in life at the moment when the ray of power is passing through it.
Boris Pasternak
Farewell, my great one, my own, farewell, my pride, farewell, my swift, deep, dear river, how I loved your daylong splashing, how I loved to plunge into your cold waves.
Boris Pasternak
Salvation lies not in the faithfulness to forms, but in the liberation from them.
Boris Pasternak
To be a woman is a great adventure To drive men mad is a heroic thing.
Boris Pasternak
At the moment of childbirth, every woman has the same aura of isolation, as though she were abandoned, alone.
Boris Pasternak
And when the war broke out, its real horrors, its real dangers, its menace of real death were a blessing compared with the inhuman reign of the lie, and they brought relief because they broke the spell of the dead letter.
Boris Pasternak
Good-bye... why am I hemorrhaging ?
Boris Pasternak
How many things in the world deserve our loyalty? Very few indeed. I think one should be loyal to immortality, which is another word for life, a stronger word for it.
Boris Pasternak
The whole of life is symbolic because the whole of it has meaning.
