“Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart!”

The Hermitage Museum | St. Petersburg | Russia. From the 1760s onwards the Winter Palace was the main residence of the Russian Tsars. Magnificently located on the bank of the Neva River, this Baroque-style palace is perhaps St. Petersburg’s most impressive attraction. Many visitors also know it as the main building of the Hermitage Museum. The green-and-white three-storey palace is a marvel of Baroque architecture and boasts 1,786 doors, 1,945 windows and 1,057 elegantly and lavishly decorated halls and rooms, many of which are open to the public. The Winter Palace was built between 1754 and 1762. Many of the palace’s impressive interiors have been remodeled since then, particularly after 1837, when a huge fire destroyed most of the building. Today the Winter Palace, together with four more buildings arranged side by side along the river embankment, houses the extensive collections of the Hermitage. The Hermitage Museum is the largest art gallery in Russia and is among the largest and most respected art museums in the world.The museum was founded in 1764 when Catherine the Great purchased a collection of 255 paintings from the German city of Berlin. Today, the Hermitage boasts over 2.7 million exhibits and displays a diverse range of art and artifacts from all over the world and from throughout history (from Ancient Egypt to the early 20th century Europe). The Hermitage’s collections include works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian, a unique collection of Rembrandts and Rubens, many French Impressionist works by Renoir, Cezanne, Manet, Monet and Pissarro, numerous canvasses by Van Gogh, Matisse, Gaugin and several sculptures by Rodin. The collection is both enormous and diverse and is an essential stop for all those interested in art and history. The experts say that if you were to spend a minute looking at each exhibit on display in the Hermitage, you would need 11 years before you’d seen them all. х

Mulan (1998)

[sylviawaldorf-blog]

“Adriana se temea de iubirea lui bruscă. Era în exuberanţa, în nerăbdarea, în entuziasmul lui, un exces care o neliniştea, poate fiindcă asta dezorganiza simţul ei de echilibru sau poate, mai degrabă, fiindcă simţea că o pasiune bruscă nu este una stabilă. Ea ar fi vrut să fie iubită mediocru, fără accese de mare patimă, dar, de asemenea, fără căderi subite şi lungi, să fie iubită cu o dragoste zilnică, sigură, aşezată.”

— Mihail Sebastian  - Oraşul cu salcâmi (via danielle-nocturne)

Did you notice he almost never smiles? While I was singing, I turned around suddenly and caught him looking at me and he was smiling then. And I felt - but it’s almost impossible to describe - I felt as if someone had given me the most enormous, beautiful present. (War and Peace 1956)
