Ilya hit the back of his head against the wall as if he could jolt her out of his mind. But she was already wrapped inside him and he was never going to be free of her. He knew that now, knew that no matter how disciplined he'd always been, his control went out the window whenever he laid eyes on Joley. And discipline wasn't going to save either of them this time.

He couldn't take his eyes off of her as she moved across the stage. Her voice swelled with power, vibrating through his body until he couldn't think with wanting her. He could have lived with that. The chemistry between them was so damn potent he ached every minute of every day, but there was so much more than sex. He belonged to Joley Drake. Body and soul. Men like him didn't ever belong to anyone - and no one belonged to them. Worse, she was slowly stealing his heart. He could take the craving for her body. He could even live without his soul, but if he allowed her access to his heart, he would be lost. ~ Christine Feehan
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Christine Feehan
Perhaps it is as simple as Hannah's sister is marrying one of the few men in the world I call friend." His gaze strayed to where Joley stood rigid against the wall. "Or perhaps I wanted to see, one more time, whether the reason I can no longer sleep at night is worth it. ~ Christine Feehan
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Christine Feehan
What is silence? Something of the sky in us. ~ Ilya Kaminsky
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Kaminsky
The idea of spontaneous generation of life in its present form is therefore highly improbable even to the scale of the billions of years during which prebotic evolution occurred. ~ Ilya Prigogine
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Prigogine
Music burst through him, perfect notes he hear rarely. Fire and ice, wind and calm, sky and earth, water and rock all fused together. Joley seemed as wild and turbulent s the sea, yet beneath her fiery passion, at the very core of her, she was as forceful and strong and as constant as the deepest ocean currents. Ilya seemed as calm as a windless sea, yet beneath the surface smoldered a volcano of such explosive magnitude, his power could easily sweep everything from his path. Together they completed each other, his melody and hers merging together into a single, perfect harmony. ~ Christine Feehan
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Christine Feehan
Don't worry be happy right now. ~ Ilya Bryzgalov
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Bryzgalov
All we need is twenty rubles to make the treasure ours. At this point we can't scruple about using any means possible. "Aut Caesar aut nihil." I choose Caesar, even though he's clearly a monarchist. ~ Ilya Ilf
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ilf
It seems to me that the novel is very much alive as a form. Without any question, every epoch has its own forms, and the novel nowadays cannot resemble that of the nineteenth century. In this domain all experiments are justified, and it is better to write something new clumsily than to repeat the old brilliantly. In the nineteenth century, novels dealt with the fate of a person or of a family; this was linked to life in that period. In our time the destinies of people are interwoven. Whether man recognizes it or not, his fate is much more linked to that of many other people than it used to be. ~ Ilya Ehrenburg
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ehrenburg
Time narrows or expands according to how we approach it. It varies with a man's breadth, with his heart. ~ Ilya Ehrenburg
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ehrenburg
For me the artworld is like a huge river, which began somewhere in the past and keeps flowing towards the future. ~ Ilya Kabakov
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Kabakov
The statistical probability that organic structures and the most precisely harmonized reactions that typify living organisms would be generated by accident, is zero. ~ Ilya Prigogine
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Prigogine
You step out of the shower and the entire nation calms -
a drop of lemon-egg shampoo,
you smell like bees,
a brief kiss,
I don't know anything about you - except the spray of freckles on your shoulders!
which makes me feel so thrillingly
alone.
I stand on earth in my pajamas,
penis sticking out -
for years
in your direction. ~ Ilya Kaminsky
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Kaminsky
There is no easy solution to the problem of political ignorance. But we can significantly mitigate it by making more of our decisions by "voting with our feet" and fewer at the ballot box. Two types of foot voting have important informational advantages over ballot box voting. The first is when we vote with our feet in the private sector, by choosing which products to buy or which civil society organizations to join. The other is choosing what state or local government to live under in a federal system - a decision often influenced by the quality of those jurisdictions' public policy. ~ Ilya Somin
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Somin
A pity we hadn't had time to say all the things we wanted to each other. ~ Ilya Ehrenburg
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ehrenburg
I'm afraid, Ilya Isayevich, that you don't have the slightest idea what the function of the secret police is. Exhibits disappear from libraries, personal archives, from museums. They are stolen, sold, exchanged, sometimes consciously destroyed. But I can assure you, in the archives of the secret police nothing is ever lost. True, the number of people granted access to them is extremely limited. But, believe me, there is no place more reliable for safekeeping. Nothing every goes missing there! Moreover, it is the very place where historical truth is preserved. ~ Lyudmila Ulitskaya
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Lyudmila Ulitskaya
Now tell me the truth, Lapsus, why do you write about things you've never seen before in your life? Things you don't have the slightest idea about? Why is 'peignoir' a ball gown in your poem 'Canton'? Why? ~ Ilya Ilf
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ilf
Author's Prayer
If I speak for the dead, I must
leave this animal of my body,
I must write the same poem over and over
for the empty page is a white flag of their surrender.
If I speak of them, I must walk
on the edge of myself, I must live as a blind man
who runs through the rooms without
touching the furniture.
Yes, I live. I can cross the streets asking "What year
is it?"
I can dance in my sleep and laugh
in front of the mirror.
Even sleep is a prayer, Lord,
I will praise your madness, and
in a language not mine, speak
of music that wakes us, music
in which we move. For whatever I say
is a kind of petition and the darkest days
must I praise. ~ Ilya Kaminsky
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Kaminsky
The way people used to kiss before the age of historical materialism. ~ Ilya Ilf
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ilf
There are people who learn political information for reasons other than becoming better voters. Just as sports fans love to follow their favorite teams even if they cannot influence the outcomes of games, so there are also "political fans" who enjoy following political issues and cheering for their favorite candidates, parties, or ideologies.

Unfortunately, much like sports fans, political fans tend to evaluate new information in a highly biased way. They overvalue anything that supports their preexisting views, and to undervalue or ignore new data that cuts against them, even to the extent of misinterpreting simple data that they could easily interpret correctly in other contexts. Moreover, those most interested in politics are also particularly prone to discuss it only with others who agree with their views, and to follow politics only through like-minded media. ~ Ilya Somin
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Somin
Entropy is the price of structure. ~ Ilya Prigogine
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Prigogine
The usual relationship between an artist and his painting is like the relationship with the father, or a husband's with his wife. But mine is a relationship with a stranger ... with the chance acquaintance. ~ Ilya Kabakov
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Kabakov
This (San Francisco) is the most beautiful city in America, Probably because it looks nothing like America ~ Ilya Ilf
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ilf
Most importantly, we have our assets: an émigré who has returned to his native town. And we have our liabilities: he is afraid the GPU will take him away. ~ Ilya Ilf
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ilf
these fond parents were not blind to the value of education it was that they realized only its external value. That is to say, they could not look beyond the fact that education enabled folk to get on in the world so far as the acquisition of rank, crosses, and money was concerned.
Certain evil rumours had arisen regarding the necessity of learning not only one's letters, but also various branches of science which until now had remained unknown to the world of Oblomovka; but, as I say, the good folk of that place had only the dimmest, the remotest, comprehension of any internal demand for education, and therefore desired to secure for their little Ilya only certain showy advantages, and no more--to wit, a fine uniform, and the getting of him into the Civil Service (his mother even foresaw him become a provincial governor!). ~ Ivan Goncharov
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ivan Goncharov
Good developers know how things work. Great developers know why things work. ~ Ilya Grigorik
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Grigorik
Clotilde stammered. "Why didn't you hang yourself? You were just saying that art is eternal. I destroyed your eternal art. Why are you still alive, man?"
"What's eternal is eternal, but I still have to get my commissions done on time," said Vasya. "What did you think?"
Vasya was just an everyday hack sculptor of average talent. And Clothilde was reading too much Schiller. ~ Ilya Ilf
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ilf
The world is richer than it is possible to express in any single language. ~ Ilya Prigogine
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Prigogine
I never want to be the poster guy. It's not me. ~ Ilya Kovalchuk
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Kovalchuk
…And I want to learn Russian. I wasn't kidding about that."

"I'll teach you."

Shane smiled so wide and bright, Ilya almost had to look away.

"I should let you sleep," Shane said.

"Da. Yes. Okay."

And then… Shane kissed the tips of two fingers and reached out and touched them to the screen. And Ilya's heart fucking stopped. ~ Rachel Reid
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Rachel  Reid
Do not count the days, do not count the miles. Count only the Germans you have killed. Kill the German - this is your old mother's prayer. Kill the German - this is what your children beseech you to do. Kill the German - this is the cry of your Russian earth. Do not waver. Do not let up. Kill. ~ Ilya Ehrenburg
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ehrenburg
The story of Gavrila was told in seventy-two lines. At the end of the poem, the mailman Gavrila, wounded by a fascist's bullet, still manages to deliver the letter to its addressee.

"Where does the story take place?" he asked Lapis. It was a logical question. There are no fascists in the USSR, and there are no Gavrilas (members of the communications workers' union) abroad.

"What's the big deal?" Lapis said. "It takes place here, of course, and the fascist is in disguise. ~ Ilya Ilf
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ilf
(1) irreversible processes are as real as reversible ones. (2) irreversible processes play a fundamental constructive role in the physical world. (3) irreversibility is deeply rooted in dynamics. ~ Ilya Prigogine
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Prigogine
It's only game. Why you have to be mad? ~ Ilya Bryzgalov
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Bryzgalov
You guys just here to blame someone. You never look yourselves in the mirror, eh? You're always good. You never make the mistakes. Your articles are always perfect. In reality, what have you done for this city? If you ask yourself, what have you done besides only criticize? Not much. ~ Ilya Bryzgalov
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Bryzgalov
Every day I would run to the library to get new books. Reading was a passion: I wanted to understand life. I read Dostoevsky and Brehm, Jules Verne and Turgenev, Dickens and the Zhivopisnoye Obozreniye; and the more I read, th emore I doubted everything. Lies surrounded me on all sides; one moment I wanted to run off to the Indian jungle, the next to throw a bomb at the governor-general's house on Tverskaya, the next to hang myself. ~ Ilya Ehrenburg
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ehrenburg
I can't listen to music often. It plays on my nerves; it makes me want to say silly, tender things and stroke the heads of people who, living in a dirty hell, can yet create such beauty. ~ Ilya Ehrenburg
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ehrenburg
Kill the Germans, wherever you find them! Every German is our moral enemy. Have no mercy on women, children, or the aged! Kill every German - wipe them out! ~ Ilya Ehrenburg
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ehrenburg
Prusis told me that the fluke's raging in Moscow, and there's nothing to bury people in. All the material's been used up. So I decided to come out and set things straight.'
Ostap, who had been listening curiously to the entire conversation, stepped in. 'Listen, pops. It's Paris where the flu is raging.'
'In Paris?'
'Well, yes. So go to Paris. You'll rake it in there! It's true that you'll have a few difficulties with the visa, but don't get down about it, pops. If Briand takes a shine to you, your life won't be half-bad: you'll be set up as personal coffin-maker to the municipality of Paris. ~ Ilya Ilf
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ilf
But the editor in chief was already balding and worked a lot. He was at the mercy of his family and apartment. He enjoyed lying down on the couch for a spell after dinner and reading Pravda before bed. ~ Ilya Ilf
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ilf
A Ballad of Going Down to the Store

First I went down to the street
by means of the stairs,
just imagine it,
by means of the stairs.

Then people known to people unknown
passed me by and I passed them by.
Regret
that you did not see
how people walk,
regret!

I entered a complete store:
lamps of glass were glowing.
I saw somebody - he sat down -
and what did I hear? what did I hear?
rustling of bags and human talk.

And indeed,
indeed,
I returned.

--Miron Bialoszewski (Poland, 1922-1983) ~ Ilya Kaminsky
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Kaminsky
If you love her, then love the woman you see, not the woman you suppose, presume, assume, and surmise that she might have been. ~ Ilya Atani
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Atani
Our suspicions are being confirmed that Nashi will serve as a cover for storm brigades that will use violence against democratic organisations. ~ Ilya Yashin
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Yashin
The deaf don't believe in silence. Silence is the invention of the hearing. ~ Ilya Kaminsky
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Kaminsky
A lot of artists were members of the artistic union. It gave you the possibility to buy paints, canvases, brushes, even the possibility to get a studio if you had the money to build it. It also gave you the possibility to make your living by making official art and then you would get a lot of "official" commissions: portraits, paintings, murals, etc. ~ Ilya Kabakov
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Kabakov
Just think what will happen when the tournament is over and all the visitors have gone. The residents of Moscow, crowded by the housing crisis, will flee to your magnificent city. The capital will be transferred automatically to Vasyuki. The government will move here. Vasyuki will be renamed New Moscow, and Moscow will be Old Vasyuki. Leningraders and Kharkovians will grind their teeth, but they won't be able to do a thing about it. New Moscow will become the elegant cultural center of Europe, and soon, of the whole world. ~ Ilya Ilf
Ilya Prakenskii quotes by Ilya Ilf
I'm lost in the woods right now, ~ Ilya Bryzgalov
