Nikolai Gogol Quotes
His Life Had Already Touched Upon The Age When Everything That Breathes Of Impulse Shrinks In A Man, When A Powerful Bow Has A Fainter Effect On His Soul And No Longer Twines Piercing Music Around His Heart, When The Touch Of Beauty No Longer Transforms Virginal Powers Into Fire And Flame, But All The Burnt-out Feelings Become More Accessible To The Sound Of Gold, Listen More Attentively To Its Alluring Music, And Little By Little Allow It Imperceptibly To Lull Them Completely. Fame Cannot Give Pleasure To One Who Did Not Merit It But Stole It; It Produces A Constant Tremor Only In One Who Is Worthy Of It. And Therefore All His Feelings And Longings Turn Toward Gold.
