Quotes by Vasil Bykov (?)

“Зло не можа спарадзіць нічога, апроч зла, на іншае яно не здольна. Але бяда ў тым, што людская дабрыня перад злом бяссільна, зло лічыцца толькі з сілай і баіцца адно толькі кары. Толькі непазбежнасць адплаты можа прыцішыць драпежны ягоны нораў, прымусіць задумацца.”
― Vasil Bykaŭ, Знак бяды

“Гэта страшная, часам невытлумачальная з’ява – фашызм. Але мне здаецца, я блізка да таго, каб яе зразумець. Вядома, зразумець – неабавязкова апраўдаць. Мне здаецца, гэты сфінкс разгадваецца проста: шалёная актыўнасць адных пры мяшчанскай пакорлівасці другіх. 3 аднаго боку, мараль: мэта – усё, сродкі – нішто. 3 другога: мая хата – з краю. Палітыка – не наша справа. За ўсіх думае фюрэр. Мы – маленькія людзі. I ў дадатак – самая раз’юшаная прапаганда, здольная чорнае выдаць за белае.”

“...Лютая была вайна. Смяртэльная бітва з найвялікшаю няпраўдай і несправядлівасцю, якія калі-небудзь нараджала зямля. Гэтая барацьба ўзяла ў чалавецтва безліч ахвяр і іхняй крывёю напісала ўрокі, якія немагчыма забыць. Найпершы з іх, мусіць, заключаецца ў тым, што воля і мір – занадта кволыя дрэўцы, каб іх можна было вырасціць без усеагульнага клопату ўсёй трохмільярднай сям’і. Занядбанне гэтым урокам каштавала б зямной катастрофы.”
