Doctor Zhivago Quotes, Famous Doctor Zhivago Quotes, Quotations
What
is history? Its beginning is that of the centuries of systematic
work devoted to the solution of the enigma of death, so that
death itself may eventually be overcome. That is why people
write symphonies, and why they discover mathematical infinity
and electromagnetic waves. Doctor Zhivago Nikolay Nikolayevich in Chapter 1, Section
5
That's
metaphysics, my dear fellow. It's forbidden me by my doctor,
my stomach. Doctor Zhivago Ivan Ivanovich in Chapter 1, Section 5
Man
is born to life, not to prepare for life. Doctor Zhivago Chapter 9, Section 14
No
deep and strong feeling, such as we may come across here and
there in the world, is unmixed with compassion. The more we
love, the more the object of our love seems to be to be a victim. Doctor Zhivago Ivan Ivanovich in Chapter 11, Section 7
Most
people experience love, without noticing that there is anything
remarkable about it. Doctor Zhivago Chapter 13, Section 10
I
don't like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue
is lifeless and it isn't of much value. Life hasn't revealed
its beauty to them. Doctor Zhivago Zhivago in Chapter 13, Section 12
Everything
established, settled, everything to do with home and order and
the common ground, has crumbled into dust and has been swept
away in the general upheaval and reorganization of the whole
of society. The whole human way of life has been destroyed and
ruined. All that's left is the bare, shivering human soul, stripped
to the last shred, the naked force of the human psyche for which
nothing has changed because it was always cold and shivering
and reaching out to its nearest neighbor, as cold and lonely
as itself. Doctor Zhivago Lara, describing life in Communist Russia,
Chapter 13, Section 12
Art
always serves beauty, and beauty is the joy of possessing form,
and form is the key to organic life since no living thing can
exist without it. Doctor Zhivago Chapter 14, Section 12
One
day Lara went out and did not come back … She died or vanished
somewhere, forgotten as a nameless number on a list which was
afterwards mislaid. Doctor Zhivago Chapter 15, Section 17
Yet
the order of the act is planned
And the end of the way inescapable.
I am alone; all drowns in the Pharisees' hypocrisy.
To live your life is not as simple as to cross a field. Doctor Zhivago Zhivago's Poems: Hamlet
