Additional quotes by Alexander Pushkin

Young man! If my notes should fall into your hands, remember that the best and most enduring changes are those which stem from an improvement in moral behaviour, without any violent upheaval.

Two fixed ideas can no more exist together in the moral world than two bodies can occupy one and the same place in the physical world.

Thus people — so it seems to me — Become good friends from sheer ennui.
