" "The great majority of us are required to live a constant, systematic duplicity. Your health is bound to be affected by it if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, you grovel before what you dislike and rejoice at what bring brings you nothing but misfortune. Our nervous system isn’t just a fiction, it’s part of our physical body, and our soul exists in space and is inside us, like teeth in our mouth. It can’t be forever violated with impunity.

About Boris Pasternak
Boris Leonidovich Pasternak [Борис Леонидович Пастернак] (10 February 1890 – 30 May 1960) was a Russian poet and writer famous for his 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. His first book of poems, My Sister, Life (1917), is one of the most influential collections ever published in the Russian language. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958, an event which enraged the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which forced him to decline the prize, though his descendants were later to accept it in his name in 1988.

От всичко руско сега най-много обичам руската детска наивност на Пушкин и Чехов, тяхното свенливо чуждеене от такива гръмки неща като крайните цели на човечеството и собственото спасение. И те са наясно по всички подобни въпроси, но къде ти такива нескромности — не е за тях работа и не им приляга! Гогол, Толстой, Достоевски се готвят за смъртта, безпокоят се, дирят смисъла, теглят чертата — а тези докрая се отвличат по текущите частни въпроси на артистичното призвание, покрай тяхното редуване неусетно изживяват живота си пак като лична, никого незасягаща частна работа и сега този частен въпрос се оказва общо дело и подобно на откъсната от дървото зелена ябълка доузрява в приемствеността и се изпълва с все повече сладост и смисъл.
