More quotes by Maxim Gorky
What can you do by killing? Nothing. You kill one dog, the master buys another-that's all there is to it.
Maxim Gorky
When a woman gets married it is like jumping into a hole in the ice in the middle of winter: you do it once and you remember it the rest of your days.
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
The more a human creature has tasted of bitter things the more it hungers after the sweet things of life.
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
Politics is something similar to the lower physiological functions, with the unpleasant difference that political functions are unavoidably carried out in public.
Maxim Gorky
Silence is terrible and painful only to those who have said all and have nothing more to speak of but to those who never had anything to say— to them silence is simple and easy.
Maxim Gorky
You will not drown the truth in seas of blood
Maxim Gorky

Maxim Gorky
In the carriages of the past, you can't go anywhere.
Maxim Gorky
We ever long for visions of beauty, We ever dream of unknown worlds.
Maxim Gorky
This fear is what is the ruin of us all. And some dominate us they take advantage of our fear and frighten us still more. Mark this: as long as people are afraid, they will rot like the birches in the marsh. We must grow bold it is time!
Maxim Gorky
Everywhere, within man and without, there is devastation, instability, chaos, and evidence of some prolonged rout.
Maxim Gorky
The revolution has overthrown the monarchy, true! But perhaps this means that the revolution simply has driven the skin disease inside the organism.
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
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
Be good, be kind, be humane, and charitable love your fellows console the afflicted pardon those who have done you wrong.
Maxim Gorky
Truth doesn't always heal a wounded soul.
Maxim Gorky
You must write for children the same way you write for adults, only better.
Maxim Gorky
The good qualities in our soul are most successfully and forcefully awakened by the power of art. Just as science is the intellect of the world, art is its soul.
Maxim Gorky
