Nikolai Gogol
Everything resembles the truth, everything can happen to a man.
Nikolai Gogol
Man is such a wondrous being that it is never possible to count up all his merits at once. The more you study him, the more new particulars appear, and their description would be endless.

Nikolai Gogol
Go along, go along quickly, and set all you have on the table for us. We don't want doughnuts, honey buns, poppy cakes, and other dainties bring us a whole sheep, serve a goat and forty-year old mead!

Nikolai Gogol
I am fated to journey hand in hand with my strange heroes and to survey the surging immensity of life, to survey it through the laughter that all can see and through the tears unseen and unknown by anyone.
Nikolai Gogol
Nothing could be more pleasant than to live in solitude, enjoy the spectacle of nature, and occasionally read some book.
Nikolai Gogol
...and sank into the profound slumber which comes only to such fortunate folk as are troubled neither with mosquitoes nor fleas nor excessive activity of brain.
Nikolai Gogol
Perfect nonsense goes on in the world. Sometimes there is no plausibility at all
Nikolai Gogol
You can't imagine how stupid the whole world has grown nowadays.
Nikolai Gogol
There are people who exist in this world not like entities but like the speckles or spots on something.
Nikolai Gogol
There are certain words which are nearer and dearer to a man than any others.
Nikolai Gogol
But youth has a future. The closer he came to graduation, the more his heart beat. He said to himself: “This is still not life, this is only the preparation for life.
Nikolai Gogol
The experience of ages has shown that a man who works on the land is purer, nobler, higher, and more moral... Agriculture should be at the basis of everything. That's my idea.
Nikolai Gogol
The more destruction there is everywhere, the more it shows the activity of town authorities.
Nikolai Gogol
