"What is talent? Three times and four times work!" ("Distant years")
"It's better to love from afar, but it's necessary to love, otherwise it's over. To wander like this and everywhere — on trains, on steamships, in the streets, at noon and at dawn — to think about beautiful things, unwritten books, to struggle, to die, to waste oneself" ("Romantics")
"The ability to feel sadness is one of the properties of a real person. Someone who is devoid of a sense of sadness is just as pitiful as a person who does not know what joy is, or who has lost the sense of the ridiculous" ("Restless Youth")
"Maybe looking at the back of a person who is leaving forever is the scariest thing to experience" ("The Book of Wanderings")
"A fairy tale is necessary not only for children, but also for adults. It causes excitement — a source of lofty and humane passions. She does not let us calm down and always shows us new, sparkling distances, a different life, she worries and makes us long for this life" ("The Life of Alexander Green")
"It has long been known that the fewer things a person has, the sweeter they are, the more strongly each thing is connected with a biography and the more important it becomes under any circumstances" ("Time of Great Expectations")
"The ability to be happy is as rare a talent as the ability to music, painting or revolutionary struggle" ("The Constellation of the Hounds of Dogs (collection))
And what inspires you? My inspiration comes from https://zelluloza.ru/search/details/1973-Konstantin-Georgievich-Paustovskiy/ where it’s possible to read the greatest books of Paustovsky in original
