More quotes by 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! And plenty of vodka, not vodka with all sorts of fancies, not with raisins and flavorings, but pure foaming vodka, that hisses and bubbles like mad.
Nikolai Gogol
Ah, steeds, steeds, what steeds! Has the whirlwind a home in your manes? Is there a sensitive ear, alert as a flame, in your every fiber? Hearing the familiar song from above, all in one accord you strain your bronze chests and, hooves barely touching the ground, turn into straight lines cleaving the air, and all inspired by God it rushes on!
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
I shall laugh my bitter laugh.
Nikolai Gogol
I saw that I'd get nowhere on the straight path, and that to go crookedly was straighter.
Nikolai Gogol
Whatever you may say, the body depends on the soul.
Nikolai Gogol
We ought to thank God for that. Yes, the man who tills the land is more worthy of respect than any.
Nikolai Gogol
There are certain words which are nearer and dearer to a man than any others.
Nikolai Gogol
In the end dreams became his life, and his whole life thereafter took a strange turn: one might say he slept while waking and watched while asleep.
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
Countless as the sands of sea are human passions, and not all of them are alike, and all of them, base and noble alike, are at first obedient to man and only later on become his terrible masters.
Nikolai Gogol
Let me warn you, if you start chasing after views, you'll be left without bread and without views.
Nikolai Gogol
Everything resembles the truth, everything can happen to a man.
Nikolai Gogol
A word aptly uttered or written cannot be cut away by an axe.
Nikolai Gogol
Countless are, as the sand in the sea, the deep desires of men, and none resembles the other, and all of them, whether shameful, or great, in the beginning are obedient, but later become terrible masters over him.
Nikolai Gogol
How much savage coarseness is concealed in refined, cultivated manners.
Nikolai Gogol
You can't imagine how stupid the whole world has grown nowadays.
Nikolai Gogol
it's not my job to preach a sermon. Art is anyhow a homily. My job is to speak in living images, not in arguments. I must exhibit life full-face, not discuss life.
Nikolai Gogol
Don't blame the mirror if your face is faulty.
Nikolai Gogol
But wise is the man who disdains no character, but with searching glance explores him to the root and cause of all.
Nikolai Gogol
