Mikhail NaimyMikhail Naimy How much more infinite a sea is man? Be not so childish as to measure him from head to foot and think you have found his borders.
Mikhail NaimyMikhail Naimy Too vast is Man and too imponderable his nature. Too varied are his talents, and too inexhaustible his strength. Beware of those who attempt to set him boundaries.Live as if your God Himself had need of you His life to live. And so, in truth, He does.
Mikhail NaimyMikhail Naimy If then, your world be such a baffling riddle, it is because you are that baffling riddle. And if your speech be such a woeful maze, it is because you are that woeful maze.
