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.

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
To an old man any place that's warm is homeland.
Maxim Gorky
Everywhere, within man and without, there is devastation, instability, chaos, and evidence of some prolonged rout.
Maxim Gorky
Intellectual force is qualitatively the first and foremost productive force, and concern for its rapid growth should be the ardent concern of all classes.
