We ever long for visions of beauty, We ever dream of unknown worlds.
Maxim Gorky
God is a complex of ideas formed by the tribe, the nation, and humanity, which awake and organize social feelings and aim to link the individual to society and to bridle the zoological individualism.
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
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

Maxim Gorky
You must write for children the same way you write for adults, only better.
Maxim Gorky

In the carriages of the past, you can't go anywhere.
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
What I'd like is to meet a man I could take off my hat to and say: Thank you for having got born, and the longer you live the better.
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
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.
