Daily Inspiration Quote by Maxim Gorky

Love, in Gorky's hands, is less a candlelit feeling than an organizing principle: a force that snaps the world into legibility. "Everything is clear" reads like a radical promise in a culture of scarcity and coercion, where ordinary people are trained to doubt their instincts and defer to bosses, priests, landlords, party men. The line offers a private liberation that doubles as a social critique: if love makes you stop "ask[ing] anybody about anything", then the real target is a society that has made permission-seeking feel like survival.

Gorky knew that world intimately. He wrote out of the Russian underclass and the churn of late-imperial life, where the future was always conditional on someone else's approval. So the quote's simplicity is strategic: it mimics the blunt, clean certainty of a decision made by someone who is finally done negotiating their own desires. The repetition of practical verbs - "where to go, what to do" - grounds love in movement and choice, not poetry. It's about direction, not decoration.

There's also an edge of wishful danger. "It all takes care of itself" is the kind of intoxicating self-myth that can propel you toward courage, or toward delusion. Gorky leaves that tension unresolved, which is why it works: the sentence performs the seduction it's describing, turning love into a shortcut past doubt, authority, and the exhausting bureaucracy of everyday life.
