Quotes

  • The hell with it. Who never knewthe price of happiness will not be happy.
  • So on and onwe walked without thinking of restpassing craters, passing fire,under the rocking sky of '41tottering crazy on its smoking columns.
  • Give me a mystery – just a plain and simple one – a mystery which is diffidence and silence, a slim little, barefoot mystery: give me a mystery – just one!
  • Over Babiy Yarthere are no memorials.The steep hillside like a rough inscription.I am frightened.Today I am as old as the Jewish race.
  • No Jewish blood runs among my blood,but I am as bitterly and hardly hatedby every anti-semiteas if I were a Jew. By thisI am a Russian.
  • No people are uninteresting.Their fate is like the chronicle of planets.Nothing in them is not particular,and planet is dissimilar from planet.
