“This Nevsky Prospect lies always, but more than ever, when the thick mass of night settles over it and makes the white and yellowish walls of houses stand out, when the whole town becomes thunderous and dazzling, a myriad carriages roll down the streets, postillions shout and mount their horses, and the devil himself lights the lamps in order to show everything in an unreal light”
― Nikolai Gogol, Nevsky Prospect

“It is true that we are never so filled with pity as at the sight of beauty touched by the pestilential breath of depravity. Let ugliness join hands with it, but beauty, beauty is delicate...It mingles in our thoughts only with what is pure and clean.”
― Nikolai Gogol, Nevsky Prospect

“а он сидел неподвижный, без сна, без деятельного бдения.”
― Nikolai Gogol, Невский проспект
