Quotes by Ivan Turgenev

If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything is ready, we shall never begin.

Ivan Turgenev

In the end, nature is inexorable: it has no reason to hurry and, sooner or later, it takes what belongs to it. Unconsciously and inflexibly obedient to its own laws, it doesn't know art, just as it doesn't know freedom, just as it doesn't know goodness.
