Alexander Pushkin

Quotes

• “The illusion which exalts us is dearer to us than ten thousand truths.”

• “The bread of the stranger is bitter,” says Dante, “and his staircase hard to climb.” But who can know what the bitterness of dependence is so well as the poor companion of an old lady of quality?

• “Two fixed ideas can no more exist together in the moral world than two bodies can occupy one and the same place in the physical world.”

• “Unforced, as conversation passed, / he had the talent of saluting / felicitously every theme, / of listening like a judge-supreme / while serious topics were disputing, / or, with an epigram-surprise, / of kindling smiles in ladies’ eyes.”

• “Привычка свыше нам дана: / Замена счастию она.”
