Mikhail Lermontov/young Cadet

Famous quotes containing the words lermontov and/or young:

    Beneath the azure current floweth;
    Above, the golden sunlight glows.
    Rebellious, the storm it wooeth,
    As if the storms could give repose.
    —Mikhail Lermontov (1814–1841)

    A person unlearns arrogance when he knows he is always among worthy human beings; being alone fosters presumption. Young people are arrogant because they always associate with their own peers, those who are all really nothing but who would like to be very important.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
