Additional quotes by Mikhail Lermontov

And everything that he saw before him He despised or hated.

You men do not understand the delights of a glance, of a pressure of the hand... but as for me, I swear to you that, when I listen to your voice, I feel such a deep, strange bliss that the most passionate kisses could not take its place.

A strange thing, the human heart in general, and woman's heart in particular.

No, it is not you I love so ardently, The glitter of your beauty is not for me: I love in you my past suffering And my perished youth. - Mikhail Lermontov
