Author of quotes: Yevgeny Pavlovich Leonov

Dramatic art is to get into the other person. To teach him how to cry, laugh, think, love, hate. Each time, mix with him, you have to invest a piece of his heart. To penetrate the heart of another human being, there to evoke joy, anger, pain, compassion, catharsis, purification. So it should be!

In our acting business who is up, who's down. And happiness and joy and grief - they are always in half. And so anyway, think or not think, Chekhov better not say, "Carry your cross and believe". In his vocation, in his work. Not umenai business of his life ever. And maybe will be rewarded. Maybe not.

You can set goals not only the actor in his profession. Not only the society in its development. You can call or label it's all buzz words, concepts, and then nowhere to come. And you can live. Just live, you know? <...> to Communicate with people, to learn the joy and sorrow of another human through your heart, through your soul to miss. Second half we gradually lost, to miss the joy and sorrow of another person through his heart. "I feel good, as well it to someone who is talking to you?" How does he live? Your neighbor, your brother, your wife, your son, and so on and so forth? Maybe the dream is supposed to be, but it should not be declared, what have we learned so brazenly.

We should be to each other kind, nevertheless have to remember God. It needs to be for someone in heaven, but for someone in the heart. In my own. And the God in you will not let you commit the nasty deed.

I now began to believe, well, not in God. I changed quickly not can. And that higher law of love can be. Above right - grace. Above justice can be forgiveness. And I think this formula is enough to not to fall below the human level. And do not have to press the machine the dogs, abandon the children in the nursing home, not to help parents, to live, forgetting that we have been called the great ancestors: do not kill, do not steal.
To us it slowly began to seem hypocritical, not serious. Because freedom. And freedom means do what you want, and live as you want. And those who wants to live, do not want to think that it is freedom, divorced from intelligence, common sense, from a good heart.

Say: this time is different. Another God. Another morality. Another Truth. But the fact of the matter is that Another God does not exist. Morality and the other does not happen. And another Truth. All trample is impossible. Especially in the arts.

Happiness is a life without fear. No waiting and the anticipation of difficulties and misfortunes.

The above laws can be love! Above the law - mercy! Above justice - forgiveness. This is enough to not to fall below the human level.

Like the silence. Silence is a special state of the world and of the soul. Out of the silence, you cannot understand the beauty. Everything great was accomplished in silence.

Scary in the art of complacency, which all rejected.

For someone a God in heaven, but for someone in your own heart. And this God in the heart does not fall below a certain human level... He will not allow to kick the dog to hurt the man, badly treat parents...

In my life it happened so that I hurt, I think, in vain, undeservedly. And I have such a will, that if people hurt me, I will eliminate from my life, I can say Hello to him and talk, but it is for me as a person no longer exists...

Sometimes just one kind word, to feel elated. It is very important that the word had been uttered when a person's life.
