Character: Anosov

... rarely, less often than in the early spring - a thunderstorm, one has to see people with full consciousness of their human dignity, peaceful, but unyielding, courageous, but gone far in their consciousness from the primitive forms of life.

People live in this incredible dependence on each other, and if they were fully aware of this, without a doubt their words, speeches, gestures, actions and addresses would become rational, careful actions; by the actions of a thinking person.

A man of evil will always say that “good” is a relative concept, but a suffering person will never say the same in relation to evil.

These are your human relations, - said Anosov to me, so complex, painful and mysterious, that sometimes is the thought not alone if you are still available happiness.

How many times I watched that as soon as banging the lady under fifty, especially if she is a widow or an old maid, and pulls her around another love to fix it. Or spying, gloats and gossips or climbs to arrange another's happiness, or throws verbal gum Arabic about sublime love. And I want to say that people nowadays have forgotten how to love. Don't see true love.

You do not believe, please someone who will tell you that are not afraid and that the whistle of bullets for him the sweetest music. That, or crazy, or bouncer. All the same I'm afraid. Only one all fear limp, and another holds in his hands. And see: fear of something is always the same, and the ability to keep yourself from the practice of growing; hence the heroes and brave men.

And if it is not, women revenge. It will take another thirty years... I can't see, but you maybe will see, Vera. Mark my word that in thirty years there would be women in the world of unprecedented power. They will dress up like Indian idols. They will trample us, men, as a despicable, obsequious slaves. Their extravagant whims and whims will become painful laws. And all because we have whole generations did not know how to bow down and revere love. It will be revenge. Know the law: action force equal to the force of counteraction.

... almost every woman in love is capable of heroism. Look, she kisses, embraces, is given - and she is already a mother. For her, if she loves, love encompasses the entire meaning of life - the whole universe! But it is not her fault that the love people have assumed such vulgar forms and descended just up to some worldly comforts, to a small entertainment. Guilty men of twenty years are full, with chicken and rabbit souls, incapable of strong desires, to heroic deeds, to the tenderness and adoration before love.
