Additional quotes by Alexander Pushkin

From an evil dog be glad of a handful of hairs.

Его состояние не позволяло ему (как сказывал он) жертвовать необходимым в надежде приобрести излишнее.

Татьяна (русская душою,
Сама не зная, почему)
С ее холодною красою
Любила русскую зиму,
На солнце иней в день морозный,
И сани, и зарею поздной
Сиянье розовых снегов,
И мглу крещенских вечеров.
