More quotes by Maxim Gorky
One word of praise from a woman is dearer to me than a whole ode from a man . .
Maxim Gorky
There's a little book I'm thinking of writing - Swan Song is what I shall call it. The song of the dying. And my book will be incense burnt at the deathbed of this society, damned with the damnation of its own impotence.
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
The most beautiful words in the English language are 'not guilty'.
Maxim Gorky

Maxim Gorky
When one loves somebody, everything is clear - where to go, what to do - it all takes care of itself and one doesn't have to ask anybody about anything.
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
Processing the human raw material is naturally more complicated than processing lumber.
Maxim Gorky
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
You can't do without philosophy, since everything has its hidden meaning which we must know.
Maxim Gorky

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.
Maxim Gorky
In war it is necessary to kill as many people as possible -- such is the cynical logic of war. Brutality in a fight is unavoidable have you seen how cruelly children fight in the streets?
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
Be good, be kind, be humane, and charitable love your fellows console the afflicted pardon those who have done you wrong.
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
You must write for children the same way you write for adults, only better.
Maxim Gorky
Remembrance of the past kills all present energy and deadens all hope for the future
Maxim Gorky
You will not drown the truth in seas of blood
