Ivan Goncharov

“Love is the most difficult school of life.”

“Life is a struggle; in it, there is no rest, and there cannot be.”

“The whole evil is that the soul is not in its place.”

“Lying is the same as alcoholism. Liars prevaricate even on their deathbeds.”

“Friendship is also a struggle, and in this struggle, it is more often a noble heart that yields.”

“Talent needs sympathy, it needs to be understood.”

“Teaching is a sacred matter, and in this matter, we must have saints, sinners are not suitable.”

“A man is created for work.”

“Life, life is playing and singing, it is a holiday. But it is not a holiday forever. It is a sword that hangs over our heads.”

“A healthy mind in a healthy body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.”

“To live is to think, to feel, to suffer.”
