Citáty Ivan Alexandrovič Gončarov
„To this day the Russian, though surrounded by a stern, unimaginative world of reality, loves to believe the seductive tales of antiquity. And long will it be before he will have been weaned from that belief.“
— Ivan Goncharov, kniha Oblomov
"Oblomov", Part I Chapter V by I. Goncharov, translated by C. J. Hogarth
„[Oblomov:] "Picture a thief or a fallen woman or a cheated fool, if you like, but do not forget the rest of mankind. What about humanity, pray? Writers like yourself try to write only with the head. What? Do you suppose the intellect can work separately from the heart? Why, the intellect needs love to fertilize it. Rather, stretch out your hand to the fallen and raise him, weep over him if he is lost beyond recall, but in no case make sport of him, for he is one to whom there should be extended only compassion. See in him yourself, and act accordingly. That done, I will read you, and bow my head before you."“
— Ivan Goncharov, kniha Oblomov
[...] "Give me man, and man alone" said Oblomov. "And, having given me him, do you try to love him."
