Author of quotes: Vasily Vasilyevich Rozanov

No man worthy of praise. Every man worthy only of pity.

No matter how you sit down to write something: sit down and write another.

Scattered people is focused. But not expected or desired, and on the other and his.

Russian people are peaceful people. It seems difficult to argue against this. But sometimes, when the dove bites. It is when he has a living will start to pull out feathers from wings.

... is agreeing that installed easily divorce without filthy formalities is desirable, prior to entering into ill-advised marriages, I don't want to rascaldom adultimage were removed the last check and to the adulterer, the Christian in society have made a lot of grief and annoyance in the lives of citizens could high and proud to keep your dirty head May suffer if a sin, and if he shot into the world innocent sufferers, let him work his redeems their suffering, trying to give and get them the rights of free people. And I say: "I Love to skate, love and sleigh to haul". Here may they mess with the sled.

Obviously, there is something specially fatal in our family, some arsenicum, arsenic, injected into it that expensive may become affordable. Stupid claim: "This is what bothers people person". As it is not so! And I say, "Honey would become more expensive with age because with each passing day growing stronger habit". Why the same old diamonds, paintings and statues, which would be "old eye", sell, "down for nothing to exchange for new", and keep painful in old age and admire them more than in his youth. "Change" in libraries and collections do not like. So - things what habit is to man! And when it wants to change - hence from the outset, "prilepina" ("two in one flesh") was not, and was simple legality next, the mechanics of the neighborhood without the secret vzaimouvazhenija.

Where "debt", there can be and certainly there are all degrees of the incipient betrayal of him, whereas where the "love" - there can not be infidelity to the beloved (after changing without love, bellbowrie family). <...> And generally the woman who is able to change, I find in the European family, is built on "debt" and not "love."

Remember bacon and his aphorism: "to Command nature only by obeying her"... One love tames the passions and preobladaet the mighty lion into a docile lamb. Passion (sex) is the force, absolutely irresistible, and there's only one other force that copes with it: the power of love. Remember the "song of songs":
Strong as death, love,
Scary as hell.
Not with such strength to get skinny and lethargic public law requirements. Love tears them like a tiger a lamb, as a lion, a crowd of hyenas who crosses his path...
For her beloved husband the wife will go into the fire, and for the children of a loved one she will swim across rivers, and oceans; and beloved wife again, her husband will undergo all the humiliation in the service, not tired in any work does not end in the veins. Yeah, so here's the ideal: in a family where the members would love each other. Just give me a loving family, and I come from this cell will build you an eternal social building. Built our and all European family to love? Alas, <...> disassemble the ideal, calling us, and you will see that our family is built on a different principle - debt. Oh, I don't about the height of this principle, they say, is not perfect in this dispute; I am talking about strength. Because after all, we don't build dreams, and life: and in vain to put the train on a bridge built from a dream in the dream material! "We should", "should I", "you should". Well, five years "I have to" ten years "I have"...

It seems to me, to give earth a blameless family means to make it a Paradise; make the "sword and division" in one family, and you will turn the entire earth into chaos, flooded with blood, dirt.

No in people and among people "one hundred first, one hundred second", is the name of the person, "Maria", "Hope", and was certainly unrelated novel, seeing the drama. "The servant of God Maria" belongs to himself and to God; in a decent society it is guarded by society; she's not obliged to "not fall", but you absolutely must, and a strict obligation to treat it seriously. You can love her, even it can "disrupt", on it rose, in the garden of God; but you can hit really and genuinely more admiring her, loving her; and in any case, you can't leave otherwise, as without a clear and defined provable fault of hers. Especially the fact that it is all destiny has placed you in and does not have the protection of law itself, should double, triple your attention, care, and delicacy.

Look at how passive Gretchen in Faust; she is able to resist only a minute. On the contrary, the morals of the Roman Empire were low, and we do not know there "accidentally falling girls", see impotent simpletons; girls are very thin there were a lot of Caesars, but... very little "catching". The woman was corrupt, and the woman was active. She "fell" with profound calculation, - falling, winning, and the "fall" as its mostly pressed the imaginary "winner." I wanted anything to defend the "falling girls" from the usual brands, they nailed: "slag". She-she, Gretchen was not so dirty. Goethe's poetical and philosophical genius gave us to feel in it the fullness of spiritual gifts... <...> Alas! Such and seduce; and strongly no one but Mephistopheles does not care for supple Marti. Yes, how often "fall" is not synonymous with "Sluts", but it is reinforced, underlined, and very cherished chastity! I repeat, with Marti there, and Martha fall carefully, as the Roman matrons. Hanging flower - though very passive; may be hoping for his fate, may have lost hope. Anyway - it's not yours. He's just God. I think the man makes terrible religious sin if singing "TRU-La-La", took semipol his two fingers, sniffed it, gave up and went to play cards. I think this is a bad thing.

Say: "take Care of the girl the honor of his youth"; for it and our bouts, to harden the struggle of a girl's "honor". Excuse me, there is always the world and the active side belongs to the man and the girl instinct the world is in a state of passive waiting. Maybe it's bad, but God is. So God arranged, and the human code would have to add that the passivity of girls, strongly inseparable with the beauty of their "femininity" should be under the protection of the careful and prudent active side.

We have laws on the property; stole a hundred rubles not only gets them, but he's suing just for the act of his, that confused and outraged, so to speak, the right and normal way of ownership. <...> violation of the principle, violated way. And understands the penalty for the violation of the principle. <...> Lost wallet honest man returns for supplies; the seminarist Khoma Brutus, depicted by Gogol in "Wii", passing through the market and seeing who, without supervision, could not pull him any thing. Gogol joked, describing funny Kiev seminarian; but, generally speaking, if passing by cabs where the fare going to the store, left without their belongings, you take them, hide them under your coat, carry home - you will be called a thief. <...> unfortunately, the structure of ownership we have and the way "honor" in one particular and important area - no. You seduced a girl; I think the price you like thief of other people's things from the cabs. Oh, I mean to take a derogatory comparison because the whole point is precisely to break originated here pride. This thief says, "I won." Let no one seen, if there was fighting and what were fighting conditions. Maybe you did not fought with swords, and stabbed from the corner. Anyway, fighting with swords with an equal, in the eyes of third or of third parties, and in the perfect equality provisions, name, uniform. Because officers and generals do not prick "for the sake of the duel" man. So, "temptation" - if he ever allowed - equal and equal society. The rest are "tricks", "thief of cabs"; the price of man - penny.

Height laws is the honor of the state; the high level of morals is the honor society.
