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
tags: life

“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

“Boshafte Wahrheiten sind nur dann gut, wenn kein Fremder sie liest.”
