Happiness will come from materialism, not from meaning.
Andrei Platonov
When you've nothing to live for, you get to thinking inside your head.
If kids can forget their own mothers but still have a sense of comrade Lenin, then Soviet power really is here to stay!
At the time of the Revolution, dogs howled day and night all over Russia.
A man who's never seen war is like a woman who's never given birth - soft in the head.
We hate our squalor.
My body gets weak without truth.
What if we all suddenly get carried away thinking - who will be left to act?
Without truth I feel ashamed to be alive.
I have a trend of my own.
The working class is my home country, and my future is linked with the proletariat.
If they don't think, people act senselessly.
I lived and languished.
I want my word to be up to the scale of the feat of arms performed by the Russian soldier.
We can't feel anything - all that's left inside us is dust.
Does the world have nothing inside but sorrow?
From our ugliness will grow the soul of the world.
