The Foundation Pit Quotes

“For there was no apparatus, no contentment, no dear friend, no conquest of the stars that could overcome the impoverishment of his soul; no matter what, he would remain aware of the vanity of friendship founded on dominance rather than on carnal love — and of the boredom of the most distant stars, in whose depths lay the same copper ores and which would need the same Supreme National Economic Soviet.”
― Andrey Platonov, Nəriman Əbdülrəhmanlı
