You are eternity's hostage A captive of mine.
Boris Pasternak
No bad man can be a good poet.
Boris Pasternak
Art has two constant, two unending concerns: It always meditates on death and thus always creates life. All great, genuine art resembles and continues the Revelation of St John.
Boris Pasternak
I have the impression that if he didn't complicate his life so needlessly, he would die of boredom.
Boris Pasternak
It is not the object described that matters, but the light that falls on it.
Boris Pasternak
Oh, how one wishes sometimes to escape from the meaningless dullness of human eloquence, from all those sublime phrases, to take refuge in nature, apparently so inarticulate, or in the wordlessness of long, grinding labor, of sound sleep, of true music, or of a human understanding rendered speechless by emotion!
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
Immensely grateful, touched, proud, astonished, abashed.
Boris Pasternak
I love you wildly, insanely, infinitely.
Boris Pasternak
They don't ask much of you. They only want you to hate the things you love and to love the things you despise.
Boris Pasternak
When a great moment knocks on the door of your life, it is often no louder than the beating of your heart, and it is very easy to miss it.
Boris Pasternak
... the unarmed power of naked truth.
Boris Pasternak
What is laid down, ordered, factual is never enough to embrace the whole truth: life always spills over the rim of every cup.
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
Work is the order of the day, just as it was at one time, with our first starts and our best efforts. Do you remember? Therein lies its delight. It brings back the forgotten one's stores of energy, seemingly exhausted, come back to life.
Boris Pasternak
To be a woman is a great adventure To drive men mad is a heroic thing.
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
And why is it, thought Lara, that my fate is to see everything and take it all so much to heart?
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
