Quotes by Mikhail Sholokhov (?)

“When swept out of its normal channel, life scatters into innumerable streams. It is difficult to foresee which it will take in its treacherous and winding course. Where today it flows in shallows, like a rivulet over sandbanks, so shallow that the shoals are visible, tomorrow it will flow richly and fully”
― Mikhail Sholokhov, And Quiet Flows the Don

“And over the village slipped the days, passing into the nights; the weeks flowed by, the months crept on, the wind howled, and glassified with an autumnal, translucent, greenish-azure, The Don flowed tranquilly down to the sea.”
― Mikhail Sholokhov, And Quiet Flows the Don

“Формировали нас под Белой Церковью, на Украине. Дали мне ЗИС-5. На нем и поехал на фронт. Ну, про войну тебе нечего рассказывать, сам видал и знаешь, как оно было поначалу. От своих письма получал часто, а сам крылатки посылал редко. Бывало, напишешь, что, мол, все в порядке, помаленьку воюем и хотя сейчас отступаем, но скоро соберемся с силами и тогда дадим фрицам прикурить. А что еще можно было писать? Тошное время было, не до писаний было. Да и признаться, и сам я не охотник был на жалобных струнах играть и терпеть не мог этаких слюнявых, какие каждый день, к делу и не к делу, женам и милахам писали, сопли по бумаге размазывали. Трудно, дескать, ему, тяжело, того и гляди убьют. И вот он, сука в штанах, жалуется, сочувствия ищет, слюнявится, а того не хочет понять, что этим разнесчастным бабенкам и детишкам не слаже нашего в тылу приходилось. Вся держава на них оперлась! Какие же это плечи нашим женщинам и детишкам надо было иметь, чтобы под такой тяжестью не согнуться? А вот не согнулись, выстояли! А такой хлюст, мокрая душонка, напишет жалостное письмо — и трудящую женщину, как рюхой под ноги. Она после этого письма, горемыка, и руки опустит, и работа ей не в работу. Нет! На то ты и мужчина, на то ты и солдат, чтобы все вытерпеть, все снести, если к этому нужда позвала. А если в тебе бабьей закваски больше, чем мужской, то надевай юбку со сборками, чтобы свой тощий зад прикрыть попышнее, чтобы хоть сзади на бабу был похож, и ступай свеклу полоть или коров доить, а на фронте ты такой не нужен, там и без тебя вони много!”
― Mikhail Sholokhov, The Fate of a Man and Early Stories
