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
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.

Everywhere, within man and without, there is devastation, instability, chaos, and evidence of some prolonged rout.
Maxim Gorky
This fear is what is the ruin of us all. And some dominate us they take advantage of our fear and frighten us still more. Mark this: as long as people are afraid, they will rot like the birches in the marsh. We must grow bold it is time!
Maxim Gorky
