- Вече не. Преди няколко години – определено. Сега май съм по-скоро чеховски герой. Израсъл съм в компанията на мнозина различни писатели – от Балзак до Шекспир. Известно ми е, че съм продукт на улицата, лишен от систематизирано образование, но аз чета много, а руските писатели са ония, които истински ми допадат. Четенето ми спаси живота.”

It’s like something he assumed was just a painted backdrop all his life has revealed itself to be real: foreign cities are real, and famous artworks, and underground railway systems, and remnants of the Berlin Wall. That’s money, the substance that makes the world real. There’s something so corrupt and sexy about it.”

“A flight of stairs leads up to the dwelling-rooms. I had never seen Paul Morphy, but I knew the moment he stood quietly before me, simply dressed, slight, smooth and melancholy-faced, with a head and brow overhanging with their own weight. So full of dignity, so empty of self-consciousness, was his presence, that I was almost prepared by it for the quick answer he made me that he was but an amateur,”
