Most importantly, I am in the life of God to people is much closer than we assume, and cares for us much more than we think. The only noise in our own minds prevents us to hear and understand that God is so close to everyone, that the closer already and nowhere. Now, if this noise be eliminated, then all will be clear.

The great poet Thomas Stearns Eliot once said, "Tradition cannot be inherited - it must win".
And what it means to win the tradition? It means to pass it through yourself, to feel like interwoven notes in the melody - and then this heart will feel what they felt, those who once wrote that tune.

All music is the repetition of man in the garden of Eden, all breaking the same world harmony. But it is important that this harmony occurred TODAY.

The music then was a little different.
Moving from one apartment to another was the carriage of the tape recorder with speakers; other things, as a rule, were very few. The tape was at the heart of any home; I remember seeing the street, someone else's clothes on display to transport to a new location, we were absolutely amazed at the lack of a device for playing music. It was quite clear to us. You can live without clothes and without a bed - but how can you live without music?
You know, I think we were right.

What happiness to love just a voice and not even a voice, but it is incredible that the human voice is in hearing the soul.

- What was your first feeling when you see a pirated copy of your album?
- Around a pirate and not pirate stuff lately blown out of proportion and hideous sound, although the difference between them no. The only difference is who gets the money for selling copies. And I absolutely do not care. If I see a copy of their album, I love knowing that someone is listening, and who does not like money, I don't care. In the history of the Aquarium, none of us received any money for albums, and now also gets the major money producing firm, and we are only a small percentage. Why do present-day people instead of music raised the money at the forefront? Over the past 15 years, the money began to occupy an increasingly important place and gradually took the place of everything else. Fortunately, there are many thousands of people who continue to adhere to the more ancient traditions that the money is only a form of energy that we have agreed that these papers represent this form. And they don't mean anything. I do not eat money, people sunbathe, they do not redeem... Money is a replacement, and now all become a replacement to take over reality. This is a big mistake.

I have no illusions that the government wants a good man.

Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.

We are under the word "love" commonly understood "to seize her property and eat it, and lock it in this drawer". And love need not be locked, but rather open. Love is not to bind themselves, and to let go.

I have no qualities and properties. About me nothing to say.

Journalist Grebenshchikov:
- The lack of culture is also culture.
Grebenshchikov replied:
Yeah, the lack of money - the same money?!

I love to feel, to touch, and I don't feel... That's you, I can touch, and the Internet can't.
