What is this eternity to me without you?
What is the infinity of my domains?
Empty ringing words,
A spacious temple — without a divinity!

— Mikhail Lermontov The Demon (1830)

Women love only the men they don’t know.

Alone, as before, in the universe
Without hope and without love!..

The Demon (1830)

What would a woman not do to hurt a rival!

I want to reconcile myself with heaven,
I want to love, I want to pray,
I want to believe in good.

The Demon (1830)

In people's eyes I read
Pages of malice and sin.

The Prophet (1841)
