More quotes by Boris Pasternak
She was here on earth to make sense of its wild enchantments.
Boris Pasternak
If you want to know, life is the principle of self-renewal, it is constantly renewing and remaking and changing and transfiguring itself.
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
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
During the last years of Mayakovski's life, when all poetry had ceased to exist . . . literature had stopped.
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
Only the solitary seek the truth, and they break with all those who don't love it sufficiently
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
Immensely grateful, touched, proud, astonished, abashed.
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
Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us.
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
The most extraordinary discoveries are made when the artist is overwhelmed by what he has to say.
Boris Pasternak
No single man makes history. History cannot be seen just as one cannot see grass growing.
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
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
I used to be very revolutionary, but now I think that nothing can be gained by brute force. People must be drawn to good by goodness.
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
In life it is more necessary to lose than to gain. A seed will only germinate if it dies.
Boris Pasternak
To be a woman is a great adventure To drive men mad is a heroic thing.
