More quotes by Boris Pasternak
Art is interested in life at the moment when the ray of power is passing through it.
Boris Pasternak
It snowed and snowed, the whole world over, Snow swept the world from end to end. A candle burned on the table A candle burned.
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
I love you wildly, insanely, infinitely.
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
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
How wonderful to be alive, he thought. But why does it always hurt?
Boris Pasternak
... the unarmed power of naked truth.
Boris Pasternak
Oh, what a love it was, utterly free, unique, like nothing else on earth! Their thoughts were like other people's songs.
Boris Pasternak
Man is born to live, not to prepare for life.
Boris Pasternak
He realised, more vividly than ever before, that art had two constant, two unending preoccupations: it is always meditating upon death and it is always thereby creating life.
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
And why is it, thought Lara, that my fate is to see everything and take it all so much to heart?
Boris Pasternak
Immensely grateful, touched, proud, astonished, abashed.
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
A literary creation can appeal to us in all sorts of ways-by its theme, subject, situations, characters. But above all it appeals to us by the presence in it of art. It is the presence of art in Crime and Punishment that moves us deeply rather than the story of Raskolnikov's crime.
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
We're all time's captives, hostages to eternity.
Boris Pasternak
The last moments slipped by, one by one, irretrievable.
Boris Pasternak
