Character: Kan

Jews are always old. They are born old. From birth on everyone bears the stamp of two thousand years of persecution.

Dealing with honest people is God's punishment. With crooks, you at least know how to behave.

She is a book for me with seven seals. I never know in advance what she will think or what she will do. You are wrong, she is not a child of Yokohama, Canton or other exotic cities at all - she is just from another planet. She came down to us from the lunar craters, rose from the pristine depths of stupidity, pure, holy simplicity and monstrous naivety, about which we, mere mortals, have long lost sight of. She is as pure as on the first day of creation. In a word, a complete sample of a woman. He makes no effort to anything, knows no doubts. It exists, and thank God!

- Better than in Italy, New York is an Italian city. In addition, it is a Spanish city, Jewish, Hungarian, Chinese, African and Historical German.

- Do you want to become an American?
- I wanted to become Austrian, then Czech. But the Germans, alas, captured both of these countries. Then I decided to become French - the result is the same. I wish I knew if the Germans were occupying America as well.

What are mouth-watering women. A third of their income they spend on cosmetics. By the way, otherwise they will not take the job. Vulgar laws of human nature do not take here into account. All must be young. But if youth is gone, her return by artificial means.

- In the meantime? What would you like to do?
- Anything not to think. And as long as possible.

Not only happiness has its measure, despair - also.
(Not only happiness has its measure of death, too.)

Culture is a thin layer, it can wash away an ordinary rain.

How little we can say about women when they are happy. And how much when unhappy.

Stupidity - the most valuable gift. But the one who lost, will never be again. It saves as a cap of invisibility. Danger that cannot be blocked by any intelligence, stupidity just doesn't notice.

After the crabs will eat more ice cream? I asked Kahn.
- I have done it once. I cannot say that I benefited from it. It is impossible to follow all of the drives at once.
- Very wise.
