Author of quotes: Maxim Gorky

Is there anywhere on earth an unoffended soul? I was offended so much that I was already tired of being offended. What can you do if people cannot do otherwise? Resentments interfere with getting things done; dwelling on them is a waste of time. Such a life! I used to get angry with people, but I thought, I see - it’s not worth it. Everyone is afraid that a neighbor might hit him, and he tries to punch him in the ear as quickly as possible. Such is my life, dear!

- I've seen such people! - he exclaimed hotly. - These are the best people on earth!

There is no need to be afraid of audacity or madness in the field of work and creation.

Life moves with wide strides forward and higher - how good it is that she is without pantaloons, because no matter can withstand such a rapid movement - it will certainly tear in the groin.

You cannot preach to people what you deny yourself.

Idiocy is a disease that cannot be cured by suggestion.

- You - beware of the living ... that's what I'll say ...

Do you understand how hurtful it is to lose a name? Even dogs have nicknames...

You don't understand people! Which are good, which are evil!... Nothing is clear...

If someone did not do good to someone, he did badly ...

One must be humble...

Death - it calms everything ... it is affectionate for us ... If you die - you will rest, they say ... that's right, dear! Because - where is a person to rest here?

Yes, what good, if you forgot your favorite? In the beloved - the whole soul ...

There is no talent... no self-confidence... and without it... never, nothing...
