Paustovsky quotes about children. There is nothing in life and in our consciousness that cannot be conveyed in Russian words. Unusual creative path

Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky, (1892–1968), writer

True happiness is primarily the lot of those who know, and not the ignorant. Ignorance makes a person indifferent to the world, and indifference grows slowly but irreversibly...

There are no great or small deeds if a person strives with all his heart for the great and just, for in this case all deeds have great weight and consequences.

Take care of love as the most precious thing. If you treat love poorly once, the next one will definitely be flawed.

A wealth of associations speaks of wealth inner world writer.

In the true vocation of writing, the perfect one does not have those qualities that cheap skeptics attribute to it - neither personal pathos, nor the writer’s pompous awareness of his exceptional role.

In any area human knowledge lies the abyss of poetry.

Inspiration enters us like a radiant summer morning, just casting off the mists of a quiet night, splashed with dew, with thickets of damp foliage. It gently breathes its healing coolness into our faces. Inspiration is like first love, when the heart beats loudly in anticipation of amazing meetings, unimaginably beautiful eyes, smiles and omissions.

Inspiration is a strict working state of a person.

Imagination, born of life, in turn, sometimes gains power over life.

A genius is so internally rich that any topic, any thought, incident or object evokes in him an inexhaustible stream of associations.

I deeply love nature, the power of the human spirit and the true human dream. And she is never loud... Never! The more you love her, the deeper you hide her in your heart, the more you protect her.

The writer’s job is to convey or, as they say, convey his associations to the reader and evoke similar associations in him.

The artist’s job is to resist suffering with all his might, with all his talent.

The artist's job is to create joy.

If you take away a person’s ability to dream, then one of the most powerful motivations that gives rise to culture, art, science and the desire to fight for a wonderful future will disappear.

A plan, just like lightning, arises in a person’s consciousness, saturated with thoughts, feelings and memory notes. All this accumulates gradually, slowly, until it reaches the level of tension that requires an inevitable discharge. Then this entire compressed and somewhat chaotic world gives birth to lightning - a plan.

Knowledge of all related fields of art - poetry, painting, architecture, sculpture and music - unusually enriches the inner world of a prose writer and gives special expressiveness to his prose. The latter is filled with the light and colors of painting, the capacity and freshness of words characteristic of poetry, the proportionality of architecture, the convexity and clarity of the lines of sculpture and the rhythm and melody of music. All these are additional riches of prose, like its additional colors.

Knowledge is organically connected with human imagination. This seemingly paradoxical law can be expressed as follows: the power of imagination increases as knowledge grows.

Every minute, every casual word and glance, every deep or humorous thought, every imperceptible movement of the human heart, just like the flying fluff of a poplar or the fire of a star in a night puddle - all these are grains of golden dust.

We, writers, have been extracting them for decades, these millions of grains of sand, collecting them unnoticed by ourselves, turning them into an alloy and then forging from this alloy our “golden rose” - a story, novel or poem.

Every person, at least several times in his life, has experienced a state of inspiration - elation, freshness, a vivid perception of reality, fullness of thought and awareness of his creative power.

We must be the owners of art of all times and all countries.

We still neglect the beauty of nature and do not know the full power of its cultural and moral impact on humans...

Our creativity is intended to ensure that the beauty of the earth, the call to fight for happiness, joy and freedom, the breadth of the human heart and the strength of the mind prevail over the darkness and sparkle like the never-setting sun.

Let's not talk about love, because we still don't know what it is.

Ignorance makes a person indifferent to the world, and indifference grows slowly but irreversibly, like a cancerous tumor.

Expectation happy days Sometimes things are much better than these very days.

Anyone who is deprived of the feeling of sadness is as pitiful as a person who does not know what joy is, or who has lost the sense of the funny. The loss of at least one of these properties indicates irreparable spiritual limitation.

Love has thousands of aspects, and each of them has its own light, its own sadness, its own happiness and its own fragrance.

A person must be smart, simple, fair, brave and kind. Only then does he have the right to wear it high rank- Human.

Native speech is the foundation of the fatherland.

Our native language is pleasant to the ear.

Keep it. The soul gives birth to a word,

The soul for words is a life-giving spring.

There is God in the soul, and God has the word,

Overcoming doubts, worries,

With me the words are Hope and Love.

Holy words - Motherland and Faith.

People's speech clean river,

I boldly reveal the power of words,

It contains the truth of the native language.

There is power in words. Healed with a word:

And the grains of truth are given to us for centuries.

I want to let you know about this:

Both life and death are in the power of the tongue.

I keep the beautiful tongue Russian speech,

Dear, to whom I have long been accustomed.

She is alone from birth and forever.

Don't litter Divine Language!

This poem written by the wonderful poetess Valentina Kotik. These verses confirm the statement of K. G. Paustovsky “For everything in the Russian language there is a great many good words”

(1892 - 1968) lived a difficult, but honest life. He was born on the same day as another Soviet classic - Leonid Leonov. Both of them in different time nominated for Nobel Prize on literature.

“Surprisingly, Paustovsky managed to live through the time of insane praise of Stalin and not write a word about the leader of all times and peoples. He managed not to join the party, not to sign a single letter or appeal stigmatizing anyone. He tried his best to stay and therefore remained himself,” his literary secretary Valery Druzhbinsky wrote about Konstantin Georgievich.

Paustovsky Konstantin Georgievich (1892 - 1968) - Russian, Soviet writer.

Take care of love like a precious thing

Quote from the book by Paustovsky K.G. “The Tale of Life” (Restless Youth) (1954). The old man says to the main character (author) -

“- Let me give you old man’s advice. Take care of love like a precious thing. If you treat love badly once, the next one will definitely be flawed.”

Be kind to your imagination! Don't avoid him

Expression from the book of Paustovsky K.G. “The Tale of Life” “Throw to the South” (1959-1960) -

“But still be merciful to the imagination! Do not avoid it. Do not pursue, do not pull back, and above all, do not be ashamed of it, like a poor relative. This is the beggar who hides the countless treasures of Golconda.”

In literature, as always, there is a war going on between Scarlet and Gray Rose!

The expression belongs to the writer K. G. Paustovsky. His son, Vadim Paustovsky writes in the preface to the book “The Tale of Life” “A Time of Great Expectations” (1958) -

“It was my father who wrote the well-known aphorism about the situation in our literature. Comparing writers with knights who in medieval England fought wars between adherents of the Orders of the Scarlet and White Roses, he said:

“In literature, as always, there is a war between the Scarlet and Gray Roses!”

The War of the Roses was the name given to a series of armed dynastic conflicts in 1455-1485 in the struggle for power between supporters of two branches of the English Plantagenet dynasty - Lancaster and York.

The war ended with the victory of Henry Tudor of the House of Lancaster, who founded a dynasty that ruled England and Wales for 117 years. Roses were the distinctive badges of the two warring parties. White Rose, symbolizing the Virgin Mary, was used as a distinctive sign by the first Duke of York, Edmund Langley, in the 14th century.

The scarlet rose became a symbol of the Plantagenet-Lancaster dynasty during the war. Perhaps it was invented as a counterbalance to the emblem of the enemy. The expression "War of the Roses" came into use in the 19th century, after the publication of the story "Anne of Geierstein" by Sir Walter Scott.

Scott chose the title based on a fictional scene in William Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part I, where the opposing sides choose their roses of different colors in the Church of the Temple.

How little a person needs to be happy when there is no happiness, and how much is needed as soon as it appears

Quote from the work of Paustovsky K.G. Distant Years (Restless Youth) (1954). The author describes a boy who does not have his own home, who was abandoned by his parents. Paustovsky argues -

“I thought: how little a person ultimately needs to be happy when there is no happiness, and how much is needed as soon as it appears.”

Just touch beauty with a careless hand and it will disappear forever.

Expression from the book of Paustovsky K.G. “The Tale of Life” “The Book of Wanderings” (1963).

These words are spoken by the writer M.M. Prishvin to Paustovsky K.G. He reproached Paustovsky K.G. because he popularized Meshchera too much, as a result crowds of tourists poured there:

“You know what you have done with your admiration for Meshchera!” he said to me with reproach and condemnation, as if I were a careless boy. “In your quiet Solotcha, hundreds of dachas are already being built for the residents of Ryazan. Now go to the meadows and find at least one blooming spur.

Look! There's no way you'll find it! If you touch beauty with a careless hand, it will disappear forever. Your contemporaries may be grateful to you, but your children’s children are unlikely to bow down for it. And how much strength there was in this very Meshchera for the development of a high national spirit, folk poetry! You are an imprudent person, my dear. They did not save their Berendey kingdom.

Yes, now in Meshchera you probably won’t find a spur-fly even during the day.”

Nothing in life comes back except our mistakes

Quote from the work of Paustovsky K.G. Distant Years (Restless Youth) (1954). These are the words of Father Paustovsky -

“There was meaning and purpose in the fact that the past is irreversible. I became convinced of this later, when I made two or three attempts to relive what I had already experienced.

“Nothing in life comes back,” my father liked to say, “except our mistakes.”

And the fact that nothing in life really repeated itself was one of the reasons for the deep attractiveness of existence."
