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.

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.

Additional quotes by Boris Pasternak

Progress in science is governed by the laws of repulsion, every step forward is made by refutation of prevalent errors and false theories. Forward steps in art are governed by the law of attraction, are the result of imitation of and admiration for beloved predecessors.

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