Quotes by Sergei Aksakov  (?)

“Her whole life—and it might be long—must be spent with a husband whom she loved indeed but could not entirely respect; there would be constant collision between utterly different ideas and opposite qualities, and they would often misunderstand one another.”
Sergei Aksakov, A Russian Gentleman

“Yes, right has a moral strength before which wrong must bend, for all its boldness.”
Sergei Aksakov, A Russian Gentleman

“Excessive feeling always produces an unpleasant impression upon quiet unemotional people; they cannot recognise such a state of mind to be natural, and regard it as a kind of morbid condition which some persons are liable to at times.”
Sergei Aksakov, A Russian Gentleman
