Once upon a time there was a Scottish SAS soldier in Kabul. He met a Soviet Spetsnaz soldier. They were enemies first, then shagged for nine years, fell in love at some stage. Dragons, battles, and damsels in distress in between, until an evil wizard took the Spetsnaz away. The Scot and the damsel battled the vile foes, until the Russian returned, but the evil spell still hat him in its claws. More dragons, battles, knights in not-so shiny armour later, the spell got broken, the Princes got reunited, and our Russian and Scotsman kind of lived happily ever after. (Dan) ~ Aleksandr Voinov
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Aleksandr Voinov
My grandfather had come over as a member of the czarist army, to make an arms deal with the British government. Being a blinkered military man, he was unaware that the Russian Revolution was about to take place. ~ Helen Mirren
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Helen Mirren
Let's play Russian roulette. If you win, I give you a Colombian necktie. ~ Natalya Vorobyova
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Natalya Vorobyova
Many Czech people are very talented. They can do many things, but when they get to a certain level, they are satisfied. I am not like that, thank God. ~ Ivan Lendl
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Ivan Lendl
Though I do not believe in the order of things, still the sticky little leaves that come out in the spring are dear to me, the blue sky is dear to me, some people are dear to me, whom one loves sometimes, would you believe it, without even knowing why; some human deeds are dear to me, which one has perhaps long ceased believing in, but still honors with one's heart, out of old habit ...
Ivan Karamazov ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
All love is socioeconomic. It's the gradients in status that make arousal possible. ~ Gary Shteyngart
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Gary Shteyngart
Sentimental outbreaks are like liquorice; when first you suck it, it's not bad, but afterwards it leaves a very nasty taste in the mouth. ~ Ivan Turgenev
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Ivan Turgenev
Tennis is not like other sports where the coach is hired by an independent entity, and that makes a huge difference in the dynamic. ~ Ivan Lendl
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Ivan Lendl
To win the Calder Trophy means a lot. It means a lot. I don't have words. I could tell you in Russian. ~ Alexander Ovechkin
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Alexander Ovechkin
Fathers and Sons
Arkaday watching Katya's face as she accepts his marriage proposal:
Anyone who has never seen such tears in the eyes of a beloved one cannot fathom to what extent, all overcome with gratitude and shame, a human being can be happy on earth.
Bazarov on his death bed:
I am done for. I've fallen under the wheel. And it transpires that there was no point in thinking about the future. It's an old story, is death, but to every man it comes anew. ~ Ivan Turgenev
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Ivan Turgenev
There is no such thing as chance in a text. Any text is the result of a repertoire, on conscious and unconscious levels, and can only be decoded by someone privy to the same repertoire. ~ Ivan Angelo
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Ivan Angelo
Condoms are about as effective against AIDS as a twenty-four-chamber gun instead of a six-chamber gun when playing Russian roulette. ~ Peter Kreeft
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Peter Kreeft
Were we all, the whole upper crust of Russian society, so totally insensitive, so horribly obtuse, as not to feel that the charmed life that we were leading was in itself an injustice and hence could not possibly last? ~ Nicolas Nabokov
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Nicolas Nabokov
In my real life, both my bosses are gay. On the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta,' Andy Cohen is gay, everybody at Bravo is gay - we call them the gay mafia. Over at 'Glee' and 'The New Normal,' my boss Ryan Murphy is gay. On the show, my boss, played by Andrew Reynolds, is gay in real life. I'm surrounded by all my gay bosses. ~ NeNe Leakes
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by NeNe Leakes
I just need to figure out how things work. ~ Ivan Sutherland
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Ivan Sutherland
We are bored in the city. ~ Ivan Chtcheglov
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Ivan Chtcheglov
Because golf exposes the flaws of the human swing - a basically simple maneuver - it causes more self-torture than any game short of Russian roulette. ~ Grantland Rice
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Grantland Rice
If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything is ready, we shall never begin. ~ Ivan Turgenev
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Ivan Turgenev
What tormented Ivan Ilych most was the deception, the lie, which for some reason they all accepted, that he was not dying but was simply ill, and that he only need keep quiet and undergo a treatment and then something very good would result. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Leo Tolstoy
A she-wolf teaches her cubs: "Bite like I do," and that's enough. A she-rabbit teaches her offspring: "Run like I do," and that's also enough. But a man teaches his children: "Think like I do," and that's a crime. ~ Brothers Strugatsky
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Brothers Strugatsky
A Russian drunk is a fascinating creature. Even when he has money, he still prefers poison at a rouble forty. And he won't take the change. ~ Sergei Dovlatov
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Sergei Dovlatov
None of the places where I grew up and live in my youth exist any longer: Tsarskoe Selo, Sevastopol, Kiev, Slepnyovo, Gungerburg (Ust-Narova).
The following have survived: Khersones (because it is eternal), Paris - by somebody's oversight, and Petersburg-Leningrad, so that there would be a place to lay my head. ~ Anna Akhmatova
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Anna Akhmatova
We will step up support for the non-commodity export sector, working more closely with potential buyers of Russian goods. We do have something to offer in the IT sphere, the nuclear power industry, aircraft manufacturing, the aerospace industry and a number of other sectors ~ Dmitry Medvedev
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Dmitry Medvedev
I would not say that female cosmonauts are not welcomed in the Russian space program. I must say, however, that all spaceflight hardware, including spacesuits and spacecraft comfort assuring systems, were designed mostly by men and for men. ~ Valentina Tereshkova
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Valentina Tereshkova
You are a word doctor. Repair the breaches of the soul. Rebuild the broken walls of the personality. Comfort those who have lost their hearts. Speak words that contain life, power, and health. Use your tongue as a weapon to destroy the mental strongholds in people's lives. ~ Ivan Tait
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Ivan Tait
In Warsaw, you also remember that you are in a Communist-controlled country, though by all accounts the control is now humane and lenient, judged by what it was and what it is in other satellite countries. Still you do hear the incompetent echo in the tapped hotel telephone, you do notice that people look over their shoulders when talking in restaurants - the secret police are dormant but not forgotten; you feel in your bones, as you would a threatening change in the weather, every change in Russian mood or action. This is not and air we have ever breathed; I doubt if we would be strong enough to resist such a climate and stay as healthy in spirit as the Poles. ~ Martha Gellhorn
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Martha Gellhorn
Grace Slaughter - the surname of her fifth husband, a manufacturer of pharmaceutical toners and "prophylactic" products, recently deceased due to a ruptured peritoneum - was sharply chauvinistic and would allow no more than two exceptions to her all-American views, exceptions with which her first spouse, Astolphe de Guéménolé-Longtgermain, no doubt had something to do: cooking had to be done by French nationals of male gender, laundry and ironing by British subjects of female gender (and absolutely not by Chinese). That allowed Henri Fresnel to be hired without having to hide his original citizenship, which is what had to be done by the director (Hungarian), the set designer (Russian), the choreographer (Lithuanian), the dancers (Italian, Greek, Egyptian), the scriptwriter (English), the librettist (Austrian), and the composer, a Finn of Bulgarian descent with a large dash of Romanian. ~ Georges Perec
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Georges Perec
A poet must be a psychologist, but a secret one: he should know and feel the roots of phenomena but present only the phenomena themselves in full bloom or as they fade away. ~ Ivan Turgenev
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Ivan Turgenev
There's a potter that lived back in the 1800s, in Biloxi, Mississippi, and his name was George Ohr. He was of Russian descent, but they called him the "Mad Potter of Biloxi." I'd love to do a great character study and comedy about that guy's life. That would be my dream role. I know it's an oddball thing, but it's true. He lived at the turn of the century, in the 1800s. ~ Lance Henriksen
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Lance Henriksen
There are Russian spies here now. And if we're lucky, they'll steal some of our secrets and they'll be two years behind. ~ Mort Sahl
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Mort Sahl
Russian fighters are always bouncing around and using a lot of effort with the punches they throw and grinding for takedowns. Anyone would get tired with that style. ~ Gilbert Melendez
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Gilbert Melendez
I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself. ~ Ivan Boesky
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Ivan Boesky
In particular, I studied German and Russian biomechanics. ~ Edwin Moses
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Edwin Moses
Before his and Pushkin's advent Russian literature was purblind. What form it perceived was an outline directed by reason: it did not see color for itself but merely used the hackneyed combinations of blind noun and dog-like adjective that Europe had inherited from the ancients. The sky was blue, the dawn red, the foliage green, the eyes of beauty black, the clouds grey, and so on. It was Gogol (and after him Lermontov and Tolstoy) who first saw yellow and violet at all. That the sky could be pale green at sunrise, or the snow a rich blue on a cloudless day, would have sounded like heretical nonsense to your so-called "classical" writer, accustomed as he was to the rigid conventional color-schemes of the Eighteenth Century French school of literature. Thus the development of the art of description throughout the centuries may be profitably treated in terms of vision, the faceted eye becoming a unified and prodigiously complex organ and the dead dim "accepted colors" (in the sense of "idées reçues") yielding gradually their subtle shades and allowing new wonders of application. I doubt whether any writer, and certainly not in Russia, had ever noticed before, to give the most striking instance, the moving pattern of light and shade on the ground under trees or the tricks of color played by sunlight with leaves. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
To make America the greatest is my goal, so I beat the Russian and I beat the Pole. And for the U.S.A. won the medal of gold. The Greeks said, 'You're better than the Cassius of old.' ~ Muhammad Ali
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Muhammad Ali
Despite elections and the experience of post-Soviet personal freedoms by the Russian people, the fate of democracy in Russia is perhaps more ambiguous now than at any time since the collapse of the Communist system. ~ Richard Lugar
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Richard Lugar
In the post war period I began again to have my doubts about Russian policy. ~ Klaus Fuchs
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Klaus Fuchs
Of course, now I had the problem of communicating what I needed. Marlen was still beating on the door, and Dimitri would be up in a couple of minutes. I glared at the human, hoping I looked terrifying. From his expression, I did. I attempted the caveman talk I had with Inna ... only this time the message was a little harder.
"Stick," I said in Russian. I had no clue what the word for stake was. I pointed at the silver ring I wore and made a slashing motion. "Stick. Where?"
He stared at me in utter confusion and then asked, in perfect English, "Why are you talking like that?"
"Oh for God's sake," I exclaimed. "Where is the vault?"
"Vault?"
"A place they keep weapons?"
He continued staring.
"Oh," he said. "That." Uneasily, he cast his eyes in the direction of the pounding. ~ Richelle Mead
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Richelle Mead
Partly, the Russian system succeeds because, in contrast to the Western industrial economies, it makes full use of its manpower. ~ John Kenneth Galbraith
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by John Kenneth Galbraith
The little weasel ripped all the buttons off my couch.
Ivan Petrovsky, pg 350 ~ Kerrelyn Sparks
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Kerrelyn Sparks
The Russian people are suffering from economic fatigue and from disillusionment with the Allies! The world thinks the Russian Revolution is at an end. Do not be mistaken. The Russian Revolution is just beginning. ~ Alexander Kerensky
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Alexander Kerensky
Constantly changing shape as its rulers annexed contiguous territories, Russia was an empire out of scale in comparison with any of the European countries. Moreover, with every new conquest, the character of the state changed as it incorporated another brand-new, restive, non-Russian ethnic group. This was one of the reasons Russia felt obliged to maintain huge armies whose size was unrelated to any plausible threat to its external security. ~ Henry Kissinger
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Henry Kissinger
I think talent is dangerous to have if you take it for granted. If you use it well and put hard work with it together, it's hard to catch that guy. And I think that's what you're seeing right now. ~ Ivan Lendl
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Ivan Lendl
No, I'm not Byron, it's my role
To be an undiscovered wonder,
Like him, a persecuted wand'rer,
But furnished with a Russian soul.
I started sooner, sooner ending,
My mind will never reach so high;
Within my soul, beyond the mending,
My shattered aspirations lie:
Dark ocean answer me, can any
Plumb all your depth with skillful trawl?
Who will explain me to the many?
I ... perhaps God? No one at all? ~ Mikhail Lermontov
Ivan Vanko Russian quotes by Mikhail Lermontov
I had a feeling Aunt Bette was thinking of taking on the Russian mob. ~ Kristen Ashley
