“If patience wasn’t so easily tested, then it would hardly be a virtue. . . ”
Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

Amor Towles
“the wise man celebrates what he can.”
Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

Amor Towles
“Alexander Rostov was neither scientist nor sage; but at the age of sixty-four he was wise enough to know that life does not proceed by leaps and bounds. It unfolds. At any given moment, it is the manifestation of a thousand transitions. Our faculties wax and wane, our experiences accumulate and our opinions evolve--if not glacially, then at least gradually. Such that the events of an average day are as likely to transform who we are as a pinch of pepper is to transform a stew.”
Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

Amor Towles
“Life is every bit as devious as Death. It too can wear a hooded coat. It too can slip into town, lurk in an alley, or wait in the back of a tavern.”
Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

Amor Towles
“Without a doubt. But imagining what might happen if one’s circumstances were different was the only sure route to madness.”
Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow
