Maxim Gorky 150th Birthday


 




















Gorky 1890 - 1900

 

❝ There — you say — truth! 
Truth doesn't always heal a wounded soul.

❝ Everybody, my friend, everybody lives for something better 
to come. That's why we want to be considerate of every man — Who knows what's in him, why he was born and what he can do?

from The Lower Depths (1902)

- Maxim Gorky -

March 28, 1868 - June 18, 1936

I am about to die, but you will return to our country.
As you go along the paths, you will see the flowers, and hear the birds sing;
but Pushmataha will see and hear them no more. 
When you reach home they will ask. ‘Where is Pushmataha?’ And you will say to them, ‘He is no more.’ 
They will hear your words as they do the fall of the great oak 
in the stillness of the midnight woods.

- Pushmataha -

Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.
Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.
