Життєпис депресивного невротика, небінарного асексуала, трудоголіка-інтелектуала, ідеаліста і навіть вегетаріанця з РХП, який жив понад 100 років тому. Особливе задоволення -- постійні вставки різними мовами і навіть математичні формули.

Quotes by Haska Shyyan (?)

“Справжній, щирий патріотизм породжується спокійним і радісним дитинством, а не шкільною пропагандою, для якої вважається вадою відсутність міфічного «шевченківського духу».”
― Гаська Шиян, За спиною

“Таке враження, що 100 баксів — то якийсь вічний тариф за право існування в цій країні. Дихнув токсичним повітрям — плати 100 баксів.”
― Гаська Шиян, За спиною

1 likes

“Діаспора — це скрізь дуже особливе явище. Відірване від об’єктивної реальності на історичній батьківщині середовище, наповнене сумішшю туги за домом та відчуття провини, які екзальтуються до надмірного пафосу, обтяженого зловживанням народними символами.”
― Гаська Шиян, За спиною

Haska’s Quotes

1 likes

“Таке відчуття, що довкола мене у якомусь абсурдному, ксенофобському і гомофобському хрестовому поході туди-сюди носять вишиту хоругву лицемірства. Ні в чому не сприймаючи іншого погляду, іншого ракурсу, іншого бекґраунду, прагнучи у кожен відвойований населений пункт поставити по греко-католицькому священнику і бійцеві Правого сектора. Seriously? Страх і покора — це те, що має формувати громадян незалежної сильної держави? Іншим мовам чи вільному від релігії простору тут не місце?”
― Гаська Шиян, За спиною
