Quotes
- Anticipation of happy days is sometimes much better than those days.
- A Man must be smart, unpretentious, fair, courageous and kind. Only then he can be entitled to be called a Man.
- Let's just not talk about love. We still don't know what it is.
- If we deprive man of his ability to dream, one of the greatest motives that drives culture, arts, science and desire to fight for the beautiful future will fall away.
- "From the book of dream interpretations": if a poet saw in a dream his money coming to an end -is that's for new poetry.
- Savrasov paintedThe Rooks Have Come Back quickly - he was afraid the rooks would fly away.
- The favorite theme of Chekhov: There was a wonderful and healthy forest which a forester was invited to take care of, the forest quickly withered and died.
- Assiduity is also a talent. Some writers should be photographed (from) the rear end instead of full face.
- Turgenev lacked the health of Leo Tolstoy and the disease of Dostoevsky.
- I believe that the foundations of literature are imagination and memories, that's why I never use notebooks. When you take a phrase from your book of notes, and put it into the text that you're writing in a different moment of time and in a different mood, that phrase shrivels and dies. I recognize notebooks only as a genre.
