Author of quotes: Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin
I've heard before that living in Switzerland is cheap; Now I can say that this is not true and that everything here is much more expensive than in Germany, for example, bread, meat, firewood, clothes, shoes and other necessities. The reason for this high cost is the wealth of the Swiss. Where people are rich, money is cheap; where money is cheap, things are expensive.
Quote Explanation: Karamzin spent seven months in Switzerland—half of his tour. He visited Basel, Bern, Geneva, and visited the Rhine and Reichenbach Falls. And then he went to France and England.

Who could love so passionately,
How I loved you?
But I sighed in vain,
Tormented, destroyed himself!
Painful be taken by,
To be a passionate one!
Forced to love
It is not possible to anyone.

In the color passionate, young age
I the tender passion were userdelta;
But Ah! faded pretty colour,
Which my gaze admired!
Remained in the heart of the void
And I said, "Love is a dream!"
