It´s a good thing when a man is different from your image of him. is shows he isn´t a type. if he were, it would be the end of him as a man. but if you can´t place him in a category, it means that at least a part of him is what a human being ought to be. he has risen above himself, he has a grain of immortality.

More From Boris Pasternak

Your god still walks in eden, between the ancient trees, where youth and love go wading through pools of primroses. and this is the sign we bring you, before the darkness fall, that spring is risen, is risen again, that life is risen, is risen again, that love is risen, is risen again, and love is lord of all.

The sad thing about our society is that women are put in one of two categories. you're either in the beautiful category and you're seen as sexy and beautiful, or some version of that, or you're put into another category... the latter category affords women the opportunity to be smart, funny, independent, mean, strong, intelligent and opinionated. we take them seriously as politicians, if they fit into that latter category. we respect their opinions more and give them higher expectations. that latter category is what allows female actors to be characters.

We're headed for what is called type 1 civilization, planetary civilization. type 2 would be stellar civilization, like star trek. type 3 civilization would be galactic, like star wars. we are type 0. we get our energy from dead plants, oil and coal. but the question is: will we make it? will we make the transition from type 0 to type 1? it's not clear.

The resurrection is the keystone of the arch on which our faith is supported. if christ has not risen, we must impeach all those witnesses for lying. if christ has not risen, we have no proof that the crucifixion of jesus differed from that of the two thieves who suffered with him. if christ has not risen, it is impossible to believe his atoning death was accepted.

The most important lesson i think i could impart is don't let anyone determine what your horizons are going to be. you get to determine those yourself. the only limitations are whatever particular talents you happen to have and how hard you're willing to work. and if you let others define who you ought to be, or what you ought to be because they put you in a category, they see your race, they see your gender and they put you in a category. you shouldn't let that happen.

Living in the now is freedom from all problems connected with time. you ought to remember that sentence, you ought to memorize it, and ought to take it out, you ought to practice it, you ought to apply it. and most of all, you ought to rejoice in it because you have just heard how not to be wretched, miserable you any more but to be a brand new, and forever brand new man or woman.

A man must know his limitations.

The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. you know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? a man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.

I remember that, although i was full of fervour, i didn't have the slightest inkling, even at forty, of the deeper side to the movement we were pursuing by instinct. it was in the air!
