More quotes by Maxim Gorky
Our most merciless enemy is our past.
Maxim Gorky
Even a bad man is better than a good book.
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
Remembrance of the past kills all present energy and deadens all hope for the future
Maxim Gorky

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
One has to be able to count if only so that at fifty one doesn't marry a girl of twenty.
Maxim Gorky
Keep reading books, but remember that a book’s only a book, and you should learn to think for yourself.
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
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
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
What can you do by killing? Nothing. You kill one dog, the master buys another-that's all there is to it.
Maxim Gorky
