More quotes by 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
Only the solitary seek the truth, and they break with all those who don't love it sufficiently
Boris Pasternak
An unshared happiness is not happiness.
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

Boris Pasternak
Good-bye... why am I hemorrhaging ?
Boris Pasternak

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
As in an explosion, I would erupt with all the wonderful things I saw and understood in this world.
Boris Pasternak
No single man makes history. History cannot be seen just as one cannot see grass growing.
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
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
The last moments slipped by, one by one, irretrievable.
Boris Pasternak
Man is born to live, not to prepare for life.
Boris Pasternak
I love you wildly, insanely, infinitely.
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
