By the time Putin became president, he was well acquainted with the double standards of Western democracies, which preached liberal values at home but were very happy to help build illiberal regimes everywhere else.

“But we are always optimists when it comes to time; we think there will be time to do things with other people. And time to say things to them.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Fredrik Backman
“And time is a curious thing. Most of us only live for the time that lies right ahead of us. A few days, weeks, years. One of the most painful moments in a person's life probably comes with the insight that an age has been reached when there is more to look back on than ahead. And when time no longer lies ahead of one, other things have to be lived for. Memories, perhaps.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Lyudmila Ulitskaya
“Иногда, по глазам угадав не высказанную еще мысль, они цитировали любимого Бродского: «Так долго вместе прожили, что вновь второе января пришлось на вторник…»”
Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Medea and Her Children

Lyudmila Ulitskaya
“Есть браки, скрепляющиеся в постели, есть — распускающиеся на кухне, под мелкую музыку столового ножа и венчика для взбивания белков, встречаются супруги-строители, производящие ремонты, закупающие по случаю дешевые пиломатериалы для дачного участка, гвозди, олифу и стекловату, иные держатся на вдохновенных скандалах.
Брак Маши и Алика совершался в беседах”
Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Medea and Her Children

“I hate it! I hate the air. I hate the sand. I hate the stupid people. I hate the way they work. I hate their bloody smiley bloody faces. I hate the never ending sky!”
