from spring

Your face is as pale and delicate as a pear blossom, and the leaves of a winter are rolling under our feet.
I never had time to think about how to settle our chaotic life, and in the blink of an eye, it was already covered by heavy snow.
I write poems under the candlelight that is as tiny as a firefly, and your steady breathing gives me the prehistoric silence of the universe.
No one can wake you up from your sleep, and outside the window, there are wolves howling hungry.
My heart never trembled, and love, I know what's coming.
I have never allowed you to lie in my life, and this only time is destined to be our permanent separation.
When lies can't fulfill this big dream, our future will be handed over to the truest death.
Ah, death, how long it is, long enough to fall from a tree of pear blossoms to snow in the sky.

Doctor Zhivago quotes

  • Lara: You know, you often look at me as if you knew me.

    Zhivago: I have seen you before. Four years ago. Christmas Eve.

    Lara: Were you there? No wonder you look at me. Did you know Viktor Komarovsky?

    Zhivago: Yes I did. That young man who took you away...

    Lara: My husband.

    Zhivago: Lot of courage. He made the rest of us look very feeble. As a matter of fact, I thought you both did. Good man to shoot at.

    Lara: I'd give anything never to have met him.

  • The Girl: I'm not your niece, Comrade General.

    Gen. Yevgraf Zhivago: Well, I'm nobody's idea of an uncle. But if this man were my father, I should want to know.
