More quotes by Maxim Gorky
Keep reading books, but remember that a book’s only a book, and you should learn to think for yourself.
Maxim Gorky
We kill everybody, my dear. Some with bullets, some with words, and everybody with our deeds. We drive people into their graves, and neither see it nor feel it.
Maxim Gorky
Even a bad man is better than a good book.
Maxim Gorky
The more a human creature has tasted of bitter things the more it hungers after the sweet things of life.
Maxim Gorky
When one loves somebody, everything is clear - where to go, what to do - it all takes care of itself and one doesn't have to ask anybody about anything.
Maxim Gorky

Maxim Gorky
Many contemporary authors drink more than they write.
Maxim Gorky
It is quiet here and restful and the air is delicious. There are gardens everywhere and police spies lie in the bushes. There are nightingales in every garden, but police spies only in mine, I think. They sit under my windows in the darkness of the night and try to get a glimpse of how I spread sedition in Russia.
Maxim Gorky
In war it is necessary to kill as many people as possible -- such is the cynical logic of war. Brutality in a fight is unavoidable have you seen how cruelly children fight in the streets?
Maxim Gorky
You can't do without philosophy, since everything has its hidden meaning which we must know.
Maxim Gorky
An artist is a man who digests his own subjective impressions and knows how to find a general objective meaning in them, and how to express them in a convincing form.
Maxim Gorky
Processing the human raw material is naturally more complicated than processing lumber.
Maxim Gorky
Politics is the soil in which the nettle of poisonous enmity, evil suspicions, shameless lies, slander, morbid ambitions, and disrespect for the individual grows rapidly and luxuriantly. Name anything bad in man and it is precisely in the soil of political struggle that it grows with particular liveliness and abundance.
Maxim Gorky
All that is called Destiny or Fate is none other than the result of our thoughtlessness and our mistrust of ourselves we should know that all that is created on earth is created by its sole Master and Laborer -- Man.
Maxim Gorky
Our most merciless enemy is our past.
Maxim Gorky
Truth doesn't always heal a wounded soul.
