“There was something eternal, something purely Muscovite about Zuyev. It never faded or disappeared, that amazing combination of unarrogant kindness, unaffected goodwill and merry seriousness.”
― Vasily Belov, The Best Is Yet to Come

“I do not consider myself to be an artist at all. As you know, I have never said I was an artist, since I think that word has to be reserved for certain special people and events of which – one has to admit – there have been fewer and fewer in recent decades. There are fewer and fewer people worthy of the name. That is also why I do not use the word of myself.”
― Krzysztof Kieślowski, Krzysztof Kieslowski: Interviews

“Our homeland in the language we spoke, thought, and wrote in, not the place where we were born. We live in the space of our language, and to expand it, it's not enough to just leave; we need to start thinking in other languages.”
― Dmitry Berkut, Clochard

“There is something in the widely held view that no lessons are learnt from history and that mankind takes no notice of what history has done. Certainly each successive catastrophe is evidence that the civilisation in question was misconceived; and when man is forced to start all over again, it can only be because up till then he has had as his aim something other than spiritual perfection.”
― Tarkovsky, Sculpting in Time
