“– Молебен будет.

– Крестный ход.

– Молебствие о даровании победы и одоления революционному оружию народной украинской армии.

– Помилуйте, какие же победы и одоление? Победили уже.

– Еще побеждать будут!

– Поход буде.

– Куды поход?

– На Москву.

– На какую Москву?

– На самую обыкновенную.”

“The thing about God, she thought, is that He usually does help, but not until you've made an effort on your own.”
