More quotes by 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
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
Don't blame the mirror if your face is faulty.
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
But wise is the man who disdains no character, but with searching glance explores him to the root and cause of all.
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
Whatever you may say, the body depends on the soul.
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
There are certain words which are nearer and dearer to a man than any others.
Nikolai Gogol
The more debris there is the more it will show the governor's activity.
Nikolai Gogol
There exists a kind of laughter which is worthy to be ranked with the higher lyric emotions and is infinitely different from the twitching of a mean merrymaker.
Nikolai Gogol
It's the most righteous, which of course is not the same thing as the most profitable.
Nikolai Gogol
You can't imagine how stupid the whole world has grown nowadays.
Nikolai Gogol
The more destruction there is everywhere, the more it shows the activity of town authorities.
Nikolai Gogol
Perfect nonsense goes on in the world. Sometimes there is no plausibility at all
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
How much savage coarseness is concealed in refined, cultivated manners.
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
...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
