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
One word of praise from a woman is dearer to me than a whole ode from a man . .
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
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
Keep reading books, but remember that a book’s only a book, and you should learn to think for yourself.
