Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
I know that Britain and the United States and others ship arms in the Middle East, 10 or maybe 100 times more than the Russian does. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
My dear hands. Farewell, my poor hands. ~ Sergei Rachmaninoff
Sergei quotes by Sergei Rachmaninoff
The hardest thing of all is when pain is hidden behind a mask of calm. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko

Sergei quotes by Sergei Prokofiev
If we do any deed that is unconditionally good, it gives the Dark Magicians the right to do an evil deed. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko

Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
Above all, translators must be native speakers. It's not because they speak the language better
I understand that sometimes a foreigner can learn a language better than native speakers. It has more to do with having an intimate knowledge of the society for which the book is being translated. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
We'll get into the plane and you'll have a cup of coffee, even a sip of brandy is permissible. And you'll think. Think hard. So hard I can hear your brains creaking. And it will be very good if by the time we reach Edinburgh you already know how to get the Crown of All Things. Because we don't have any time to spare. Only twelve hours until the bomb goes off."
"You bastard," I said.
"No, I'm a highly effective personnel manager," Edgar said, with a smile. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Nobody can be forced to commit an act of villainy. You can't push anybody into the mud; people always step into it themselves. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Why should I waste my imagination on myself? - SERGEI DIAGHILEV ~ Clive James
Sergei quotes by Clive James
The laws of nature are not intelligent,' I replied. 'The force of gravity is not intelligent. Electricity is not intelligent. A savage looking at a television might assume that it's a sapient being, but we - '
'A sapient being? Looking at a television these days, the only possible assumption is that it's a loud-mouthed, hysterical madman suffering from progressive mental debility,' Anna Tikhonovna said derisively. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
We have put the Cold War behind us. We no longer count our divisions and our warheads. And I am Russia's first civilian defense minister in many centuries. We have become more pragmatic. ~ Sergei Ivanov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Ivanov
The university campus was in the old part of town. The combination of water and stone creates a special, majestic atmosphere there. It's hard to be a sluggard under those circumstances, but I managed. ~ Sergei Dovlatov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Dovlatov
At home we didnt talk about religion. So gradually the question faded away by itself and disappeared from the agenda. When I was nineteen my father died; my response to his death was atheistic. ~ Sergei Prokofiev
Sergei quotes by Sergei Prokofiev
Every country has its political face and political traditions. ~ Sergei Lavrov

I began with track and field because this is what I know. ~ Sergei Bubka
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bubka
This is the inevitable consequence of a popular movie: you become the guy who wrote "the book that inspired the movie." Frankly speaking, I find it a bit insulting. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
The machine does not teach playing flexibility, does not help in taking account of human facxtors in the battle, and on whole, strictly speaking, it restricts the possibilities for young players. ~ Sergei Shipov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Shipov
Maybe it was cold and miserable in the forest, but man can bring his own warmth and comfort anywhere he goes. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko

Sergei quotes by Sergei Ivanov
Saddam Hussein was the one person after whom the United States went, and they ruined the country. ~ Sergei Lavrov

Most important ... develop your technical ability. You are handicapped if you do not develop well enough to hold the subconscious process so as not to have problems of inexperienced painters ... ~ Sergei Bongart
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bongart
We will defend ourselves, and we have full rights to do so. If the authorities try to destroy us, we have the right to rise up. Sooner or later this will happen. ~ Sergei Udaltsov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Udaltsov
Evil has no need to bother with eliminating Good. It's far simpler to let Good fight against itself. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
We are not better than native born Americans, and of course not smarter. We've just been to the last stop of this bus. ~ Sergei Dovlatov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Dovlatov
We still believe that if the Russian Federation and the United States bring their minds together, we can develop a common system which would be efficient in protecting the Euro-Atlantic region from threats coming outside this region. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
Sergei, what are you checking for?" I asked. At first I thought it was funny. He moved quickly and efficiently, making a clean sweep of each room with me trailing behind him.

"I am checking to make sure we are alone," he informed me. "You could be spy."

"Sergei, I'm not a spy. There is no one here in my apartment besides you and me. You know where I work." I tried to assure him, but I didn't know what else I could do to convince him otherwise. ~ K. Kidd
Sergei quotes by K. Kidd
I'm sorry you never got my note that night," said Minty. "I was arranging for us to go and live with them. You'll like that, won't you?" she asked Maia.
Maia was silent, looking down at her plate.
"Of course she will," jeered Finn. "Sergei will be able to kneel at her feet like a person in a book. ~ Eva Ibbotson
Sergei quotes by Eva Ibbotson
Many years ago someone told me something that I flatly refused to accept. And I still don't accept it now, despite all the times I've seen it proved right.
"The common good and the individual good rarely coincide ... "
Sure, I know, it's true.
But some truths are probably worse than lies. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Learn technique; have full command to the extent of not being conscious of how it is done. When craftsmanship has been developed, you are free to create ... technique will give way to expression! ~ Sergei Bongart
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bongart
Do I smell like wild places, still?"
Sergei laughed softly and ruffled his hair. "I'd have to compare. And monitor that. Refine my assessment over the next years ... "
"Ranch has plenty of spare dung. I'll be sure to roll in it regularly." Teeth scraped his arm, nipped his skin gently.
"I always knew the Alliance was decadent. I intend to see just how decadent. ~ Rhi Etzweiler
Sergei quotes by Rhi Etzweiler
When there are strange things going on all around, every coincidence should be considered very carefully. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei remembered well how unsettled Nikishin had been by the arm and leg that day. Then, it had made him sneer inwardly, but it was difficult to maintain that derision since he began to like the man. Trust him even. And that could be dangerous enough, laws being what they were, Nikishin being who he was. Never mind that any normal individual would be revolted by Sergei's current physical state, and justifiably so. Cyborg patchwork over mangled flesh. The pinnacle of attractive. He'd always been different, a freak. Now it was just visible. Impossible to hide. ~ Aleksandr Voinov
Sergei quotes by Aleksandr Voinov
I don't want to say that sanctions are ridiculous and that we couldn't care less; these are not pleasant things ... We find little joy in that, but there are no painful sensations. We have lived through tougher times. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
Loneliness, dejection, the contempt or pity of people around you
these are unpleasant feelings. But they are precisely the things that produce genuine Dark Ones. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Regarding the visa-free regime, it has undoubtedly become a problem for the European Union, above all in terms of its capacity to reach agreements. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
What is nice about this sport is that I am responsible for most everything. ~ Sergei Bubka
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bubka
There is very much in the world that is bad. But usually the attempt to defeat evil engenders more evil. I advise you to do good; that is the only way to win the victory! ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
I have spoken with many former athletes, and they tell me the best time they had was in sports. I listen to them and use their experience in my career. ~ Sergei Bubka
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bubka
Never become an artist if you can't learn to draw. ~ Sergei Bongart
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bongart
The whole problem is that the regime is a reflection of society. Crooked and grotesque, but still a reflection. And as long as most of the citizens of a country - if they happened to gain power - would steal and regard themselves as better than other people, no remoralization of the ruling circles will change anything. Those politicians who acquire a conscience will leave. And new ones without consciences will take their places. It's people who have to change, society - ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
If these were indications of new love, as Sergei expected they were, then he was not surprised. All that scraping and arguing, the teasing and playful antagonism, could only mean on thing. It was a sure sign of attraction. ~ Suzanne Weyn
Sergei quotes by Suzanne Weyn
Shouldn't the General Assembly adopt a declaration on the inadmissibility of interference into domestic affairs of sovereign states and nonrecognition of coup d'etats as a method of the change of power? ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
Attempts to settle crises by unilateral sanctions outside the framework of U.N. Security Council decisions threaten international peace and stability. Such attempts are counterproductive and contradict the norms and principles of international law. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
-"Do you know what it's like to be condemned to love?"
-"But isn't it always like that?" Svetlana asked, trembling with indignation. "When people love each other, when they find each other out of thousands and millions of people. It's always destiny!"
Once again I sensed that infinitely naive girl in her, the girl who couldn't hate anything except herself. The girl who was already beginning to disappear.
-"No, Sveta, haven't you ever heard love compared to a flower?"
-"Yes."
-"A flower can be grown, Sveta. But it can be bought too, or given as a gift."
-"Did Anton buy it?"
-"No," I said, a bit too sharply. "It was a gift. From destiny."
-"What difference does that make? If it is love?"
-"Sveta, cut flowers are beautiful, but they don't live for long. They're already dying, even the ones that are carefully placed in a crystal vase and given fresh water. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
The E.U.'s Eastern Partnership programme is designed to bind the so-called focus states tightly to itself, shutting down the possibility of co-operation with Russia. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
Because love is also a power. A great power, and it should not be disdained. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Even now I want to keep my amateur spirit, to spend my time, to be in the sport with all my heart. ~ Sergei Bubka
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bubka
We have absolutely no intention of, or interest in, crossing Ukraine's borders. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
When you buy a company at an auction, and you are committing yourself to pay some $300 million to the state because it was a privatization deal, and you don't pay it, is it OK? Isn't it something that deserves court procedures? ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
Practice like good musician; draw every day. ~ Sergei Bongart
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bongart
If it acts like a terrorist, if it walks like a terrorist, if it fights like a terrorist, it's a terrorist, right? ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
Abigail, my love for you is forever, you know that. Your love for Sergei is forever. But my love for Jill is as well. I don't know how it works, but I do believe the human heart is capable of much more than we give it credit for sometimes. ~ Bethany Turner
Sergei quotes by Bethany Turner
The Olympics are always a special competition, it is very difficult to predict what will happen. ~ Sergei Bubka
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bubka
Our stand is crystal-clear - we want peace in Ukraine, which can only be attained through broad national dialogue in which all regions and all political forces of the country must participate. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
In the spirit of commitment to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, we will strive to achieve real progress in disarmament and arms control. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
[after guard dogs frozen mid-attack] 'How long are the dogs going to stay hanging there like that?' ask Yulia. 'I want to make friends with them. Otherwise, i'll be left with a latent psychological complex that's bound to affect my personality and sexual preferences. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
What an unfortunate instrument the guitar is! An instrument of such great nobility, a genuine monarch of music
reduced to a pitiful lump of wood with six strings, constantly abused by people with no ear and no voice. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
When we acknowledge that human beings have the right to choose, we deprive ourselves of it, ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Mexican cinematographers Gabriel Figueroa and Emilio Fernandez were students of both Sergei Eisenstein and Toland. Their exteriors and lighting were gorgeous. And the films Ingmar Bergman did with Sven Nykvist were exceptional. ~ Vilmos Zsigmond
Sergei quotes by Vilmos Zsigmond
What did a young body mean, when you could see the dust of the centuries in the other person's eyes? ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
We have been protecting the lives of the Russian peacekeepers who had been attacked by their Georgian comrades, because there was a joint peacekeeping force. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
The harder they resist us, the tougher will be our response. ~ Sergei Udaltsov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Udaltsov
I think that, generally, you need to live with your sport 24 hours a day. ~ Sergei Bubka
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bubka
What has to happen to us before we understand that we have to take good care of everything we have, of every tree in our boundless forests, every little stream that isn't even marked on the maps, every village with only five households, every soldier drafted into the army, every man in the street toiling under his dreary daily burden? What will it take to change us? ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Crimea was not a non-nuclear zone in an international law sense but was part of Ukraine, a state which doesn't possess nuclear arms. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
The less inhibited you are the better. ~ Sergei Bongart
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bongart
[T]hat afternoon, Sergei Lavrov called me for the second time during the crisis. [...] "We have three demands," he said.
"What are they?" I asked.
"The first two are that the Georgians sign the no-use-of-force pledge and that their troops return to barracks," he told me.
"Done," I answered.

[...] But then Sergei said, "The other demand is just between us. Misha Saakashvili has to go." I couldn't believe my ears and I reacted out of instinct, not analysis.

"Sergei, the secretary of state of the United States does not have a conversation with the Russian foreign minister about overthrowing a democratically elected president," I said. "The third condition has just become public because I'm going to call everyone I can and tell them that Russia is demanding the overthrow of the Georgian president."

"I said it was between us," he repeated.
"No, it's not between us. Everyone is going to know." The conversation ended. I called Steve Hadley to tell him about the Russian demand. Then I called the British, the French, and several others. That afternoon the UN Security Council was meeting. I asked our representative to inform the Council as well.

Lavrov was furious, saying that he'd never had a colleague divulge the contents of a diplomatic conversation. I felt I had no choice. If the Georgians wanted to punish Saakashvili for the war, they would have a chance to do it through their own constitutional processes. But the Rus ~ Condoleezza Rice
Sergei quotes by Condoleezza Rice
The international community unfortunately did take sides in Libya, and we would never allow the Security Council to authorise anything similar to what happened in Libya. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
The general will be joining us, shortly.
[..] A Revision officer dropping the brother in front of a rank was the most threatening thing Sergei had heard in a long time. He stared at Nikishin, tried to read his features, but that was entirely impossible. Never before had Nikishin appeared more the arm of the law. ~ Aleksandr Voinov
Sergei quotes by Aleksandr Voinov
The pole vault is a very complicated event, there are many things involved. ~ Sergei Bubka
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bubka
God could arrest you for this,' said Sergei. 'This is better than murder. ~ Katherine Rundell
Sergei quotes by Katherine Rundell
As she conceived it, tea had to be as black as tar and as strong as a sinner's conscience. Or the other way around. As black as that conscience and as strong as tar. And sweet. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Books are attracted to me. They make a beeline for me, and stick to me. I have been so fond of them that at last they have begun to reciprocate. In my hands books burst like ripe fruit. Like magic flowers they unfold their petals to show me the vital thought, the suggestive word, the confirming quotation, the decisive illustration. ~ Sergei Eisenstein
Sergei quotes by Sergei Eisenstein
Sports life is very short. ~ Sergei Bubka
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bubka
We started with that, basically to help kids, and then we created a pole vault school, which is part of the club and exists to this day. The club and school exist. ~ Sergei Bubka
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bubka
And the simple people are trash. A herd of sheep that are good for shearing, but sometimes it's more profitable to slaughter them. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Sales were lukewarm. Back home there was no freedom, but there were readers. Here there was freedom enough, but readers were missing. ~ Sergei Dovlatov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Dovlatov
Because love stands above Darkness and Light.
Because love is not sex or a shared faith, or "the joint maintenance of a household and the upbringing of children."
Because love is also Power.
And Light and Darkness, people and Others, morality and law, the Ten Commandments and the Great Treaty have damn all to do with it. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
The world was horrible. But life continued. What is more, life's usual proportions stayed the same. The ratio of good and evil, grief and happiness, remained unchanged. ~ Sergei Dovlatov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Dovlatov
He enjoyed life for its own sake, not for material possessions. Life was the exact opposite of money, which in itself meant nothing. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Russia and the U.S. must jointly manage expectations to ensure that attempts to 'reset' our relationship succeed. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
Once you set out to copy another painter you can never be more than number two. ~ Sergei Bongart
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bongart
Or as hockey player Sergei Fedorov knows it, 'The day I can legally start telling everyone I am sleeping with Anna Kournikova.' ~ Craig Kilborn
Sergei quotes by Craig Kilborn
As a schoolboy I liked to draw the leaders of the world proletariat - especially Marx. Just start smearing an ordinary splotch of ink around and you've already got a resemblance ... ~ Sergei Dovlatov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Dovlatov
I'm sorry," I said. I felt unbearably ashamed. "I'm sorry." "What for?" "For being a blind, self-satisfied ass. For not seeing . . . ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
I had three long conversations with Marusya over a cup of coffee. She told me her whole rather silly story. To some degree we became friends. I like people like that
doomed, dying, helpless, and brazen. I always say, if you're in trouble, you're not sinning. ~ Sergei Dovlatov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Dovlatov
I compose music because I must give expression to my feelings, just as I talk because I must give utterance to my thoughts. ~ Sergei Rachmaninoff
Sergei quotes by Sergei Rachmaninoff
Sergei doesn't yearn for love ... he thirsts for domination, and now he has finally achieved it. ~ Melika Dannese Lux
Sergei quotes by Melika Dannese Lux
We are not wedded to anyone in Syria. We are not concerned with any personality. We are concerned with keeping Syria in one piece, territorially integral, sovereign, independent and secular, where the rights of all groups, ethnic and others, are fully respected. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lavrov
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye. My dear, you are in my heart. Predestined separation promises a future meeting. ~ Sergei Yesenin
Sergei quotes by Sergei Yesenin
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
Sergei quotes by Sergei Dovlatov
Indeed, being a beginner is very difficult right now. Book publishers are in a crisis, sales are dwindling, and publishing houses are losing money, doing their best to survive. It's a sign of the times, the emergence of new kinds of entertainment
there's nothing we can do about it. I don't think books will perish for good. They could become less widespread, though, falling even further behind movies and computer games. But we shouldn't be afraid of this, because books will always remain the entertainment of choice for intelligent people, of whom there are still many in this world. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
I love the pole vault because it is a professor's sport. One must not only run and jump, but one must think. Which pole to use, which height to jump, which strategy to use. I love it because the results are immediate and the strongest is the winner. Everyone knows it. In everyday life that is difficult to prove. ~ Sergei Bubka
Sergei quotes by Sergei Bubka
I can't see the line between deliberate intention and coincidence. ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Sergei quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Not sorry, not calling, not crying
All will pass like smoke of white apple trees
Seized by the gold of autumn,
I will no longer be young. ~ Sergei Yesenin
Sergei quotes by Sergei Yesenin
