The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant, systematic duplicity. Your health is bound to be affected if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you dislike and rejoice at what brings you nothing but misfortune.

Oh, what a love it was, utterly free, unique, like nothing else on earth! Their thoughts were like other people's songs.
They loved each other, not driven by necessity, by the "blaze of passion" often falsely ascribed to love. They loved each other because everything around them willed it, the trees and the clouds and the sky over their heads and the earth under their feet. Perhaps their surrounding world, the strangers they met in the street, the wide expanses they saw on their walks, the rooms in which they lived or met, took more delight in their love than they themselves did.

Хамлет
Спря шумът. На Сцената съм вече.
До вратата плътно прилепен,
аз долавям в отгласа далечен
всичко, дето ще се случи с мен.
Мракът на нощта е в мен насочен,
с хиляди бинокли ме следи.
Само тая чаша, Ава Отче,
днес да ме отмине отреди.
Вярвам, твоят замисъл голям е,
ще играя ролята докрай,
но това сега е друга драма
и отсрочка тоя път ми дай.
Но подред, обмислено се действа;
и на пътя ти стои черта.
Аз съм сам. Във всичко — фарисейство.
Не от ден до пладне — до смъртта!

Гамлет
Гул затих. Я вышел на подмостки.
Прислонясь к дверному косяку,
Я ловлю в далёком отголоске
Что случится на моём веку́.
На меня наставлен сумрак но́чи
Тысячью биноклей на оси́.
Если только можно, Авва, Отче,
Чашу эту мимо пронеси.
Я люблю твой замысел упрямый
И играть согласен эту роль.
Но сейчас идёт другая драма,
И на этот раз меня уволь.
Но продуман распорядок действий,
И неотвратим конец пути.
Я один, всё тонет в фарисействе.
Жизнь прожить — не поле перейти.
Ordinarily, people are anxious to test their theories in practice, to learn from experience, but those who wield power are so anxious to establish the myth of their own infallibility that they turn back on truth as squarely as they can. Politics mean nothing to me. I don't like people who are indifferent to the truth.
Boris PasternakThe greatness of a writer has nothing to do with subject matter itself, only with how much the subject matter touches the author.
Boris PasternakHow intense can be the longing to escape from the emptiness and dullness of human verbosity, to take refuge in nature, apparently so inarticulate, or in the wordlessness of long, grinding labour, of sound sleep, of true music, or of a human understanding rendered speechless by emotion!

This was a time to prepare for the cold weather, to store up fire and wood. But in those days of the triumph of materialism, matter had become a disembodied idea, and the problems of alimentation and fuel supply took the place of food and firewood.
Boris PasternakI don't know a movement more self-centered and further removed from the facts than Marxism. Everyone is worried only about proving himself in practical matters, and as for the men in power, they are so anxious to establish the myth of their infallibility that they do their utmost to ignore the truth. Politics don't appeal to me. I don't like people who don't care about the truth.

What an incorrigible nonentity one must be to play only one role in life, to occupy only one place in society, to always mean one and the same thing!
