“Vorobyaninov, I've got a pressing artistic task for you,' he whispered. 'Go over to the exit from the first-class hallway and stand there. If somebody approaches, start singing, loudly.'

The old man was taken aback. 'But what should I sing?'

'Not "God Save the Tsar," that's for sure!”
Ilya Ilf, The Twelve Chairs

“I once read a book about a reporter written by a reporter who described the life as always running in front of a thresher. I thought it was the most accurate description I’d read.”
Michael Connelly, The Poet
