More quotes by Maxim Gorky
The higher goal a person pursues, the quicker his ability develops, and the more beneficial he will become to the society. I believe for sure that this is also a truth.
Maxim Gorky

Maxim Gorky
Our most merciless enemy is our past.
Maxim Gorky

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

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
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
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 ever long for visions of beauty, We ever dream of unknown worlds.
Maxim Gorky
You can't do without philosophy, since everything has its hidden meaning which we must know.
Maxim Gorky
