Author of quotes: Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin. Page 5

I'm not at all delighted with everything I see around me; as a writer, I am annoyed, as a man with prejudices - I'm offended - but upon my honor, that for anything in the world I would not want to change the country or have a different history than the history of our ancestors, as God gave it.

Don't you find something significant in the present situation of Russia, something that would strike a future historian?

War Oleg and Svyatoslav, and even specific strife - isn't this the life, full of vigorous fermentation and passionate and aimless activities which characterized the youth of all Nations?

Russia is its vast space swallowed up the Mongol invasion. The Tatars did not dare to cross our Western borders and leave us in the rear. They retreated to their deserts, and Christian civilization was saved. Our martyrdom energetic development of Catholic Europe was spared from any interference.

Better, says Ecclesiastes, to heed the counsel of the wise than to the songs of a madman.

What are the blood in the Iliad, is not found in the Bible?

Under the yoke of fatal power
Impatient soul
Homeland heed the invocation.

Anyone
Report do not give, only myself
To serve and to please...
Do not bend no conscience, no thoughts, no neck...
That's happiness! that's right!

Cursed be the voice of truth,
When mediocrity greedy
Envious, the greedy temptation,
It caters to the idle.

Parnassus, not a monk and not a harem sad.

Early in life my rules
Charming, cunning, the weaker sex;
Then the law itself is put
His single tyranny.

Do not trust hope, it is just a pretty woman who treats us like an old husband.

Let fate decide my note; I don't want to get involved in this...

When you throw a husband, this is a complete scandal, the future means nothing or it means very little.
