“Is that vodka?" Margarita asked weakly.
The cat jumped up in his seat with indignation.
"I beg pardon, my queen," he rasped, "Would I ever allow myself to offer vodka to a lady? This is pure alcohol!”

“Какво друго? Тя е красива. Никога няма да се умориш да я гледаш. Нито пък се налага да се тревожиш дали не е по-умна от теб: защото със сигурност е така. Обичам я. Такъв късмет е, Ван Хутен, че я обичам. Защото, старче, нямаш право на избор дали да бъдеш наранен - сам можеш да избереш единствено кой да те нарани. Аз съм доволен от избора си. Дано и тя да е доволна от своя.”

“In front of me 327 pages of the manuscript [Master and Margarita] (about 22 chapters). The most important remains - editing, and it's going to be hard. I will have to pay close attention to details. Maybe even re-write some things... 'What's its future?' you ask? I don't know. Possibly, you will store the manuscript in one of the drawers, next to my 'killed' plays, and occasionally it will be in your thoughts. Then again, you don't know the future. My own judgement of the book is already made and I think it truly deserves being hidden away in the darkness of some chest.
