More quotes by Maxim Gorky
Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.
Maxim Gorky
There's a little book I'm thinking of writing - Swan Song is what I shall call it. The song of the dying. And my book will be incense burnt at the deathbed of this society, damned with the damnation of its own impotence.
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
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
All of us are pilgrims on this earth. I've even heard people say that the earth itself is a pilgrim in the heavens.
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
Remembrance of the past kills all present energy and deadens all hope for the future
Maxim Gorky
There is no one on earth more disgusting and repulsive than he who gives alms. Even as there is no one so miserable as he who accepts them.
Maxim Gorky
In the carriages of the past, you can't go anywhere.
Maxim Gorky
The more a human creature has tasted of bitter things the more it hungers after the sweet things of life.
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
Politics is something similar to the lower physiological functions, with the unpleasant difference that political functions are unavoidably carried out in public.
Maxim Gorky
Keep reading books, but remember that a book’s only a book, and you should learn to think for yourself.
Maxim Gorky
Lies are the religion of slaves and masters. Truth is the god of the free man.
Maxim Gorky
We ever long for visions of beauty, We ever dream of unknown worlds.
Maxim Gorky
What I'd like is to meet a man I could take off my hat to and say: Thank you for having got born, and the longer you live the better.
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
But I'm not to be caught with such poor bait! I'm a big fish, I am.
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
God is a complex of ideas formed by the tribe, the nation, and humanity, which awake and organize social feelings and aim to link the individual to society and to bridle the zoological individualism.
Maxim Gorky
