“ You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible.” “ Any idiot can face a crisis -it’s day to day living that wears you out.” “ Man is what he believes.” “ If you want to work on your art, work on your life.” “ Any idiot can face a crisis; it’s the day-to-day living that wears you out.” “ Medicine is my lawful wife and literature is my mistress.” “ In our village, folks are not allowed to think.” “ Love, friendship, respect, do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.” “ The task of a writer is not to solve the problem but to state the problem correctly.” “ A man is what he believes.” “ We shall find peace. We shall hear angels.” “ In our village, folks are so poor that they can’t even afford to be poor.” “ The task of a writer is to make the reader see.” “ There is nothing more dangerous than a lack of caution.” |
