Quotes: Boris Pasternak

"In the fields, she stopped and took a deep breath of the flower-scented air. It was dearer to her than her kin, better than a lover, wiser than a book. And for a moment she rediscovered the purpose of her life. She was here on earth to absorb its wild enchantment." 

–– Boris Pasternak (1890-1960), Russian poet and writer
