More quotes by 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
Yet the order of the acts is planned And the end of the way inescapable. I am alone all drowns in the Pharisees' hypocrisy.
Boris Pasternak
That's metaphysics, my dear fellow. It's forbidden me by my doctor, my stomach won't take it.
Boris Pasternak
It is not the object described that matters, but the light that falls on it.
Boris Pasternak
I don't like purely philosophical works. I think a little philosophy should be added to life and art by way of seasoning, but to make it one's specialty seems to me as strange as eating nothing but horseradish. - Lara, from Doctor Zhivago
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
Good-bye... why am I hemorrhaging ?
Boris Pasternak
Only the solitary seek the truth, and they break with all those who don't love it sufficiently
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
In life it is more necessary to lose than to gain. A seed will only germinate if it dies.
Boris Pasternak
As in an explosion, I would erupt with all the wonderful things I saw and understood in this world.
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
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
All mothers are mothers of great people, and it is not their fault that life later disappoints them.
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
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
I am alone all drowns in the Pharisees' hypocrisy. To live your life is not as simple as to cross a field.
Boris Pasternak
Salvation lies not in the faithfulness to forms, but in the liberation from them.
Boris Pasternak
