Quote by Anna Akhmatova

"I have taught myself to live simply and wisely, to look at the sky and pray to God, and to wander long before evening to tire my superfluous flesh."

"This cruel age has deflected me, like a river from its course."

"And the stone word fell on my still living breast."

"I am not one of those who left the land to the mercy of its enemies. Their flattery leaves me cold."

"Time waits for no one."

"Time spent with loved ones is never wasted."

"I've been alive for a long time. Long enough to know that you can't trust anyone."

"The past always catches up with you."
