Quote by Andrei Platonov

“Nikita uzun süre tek başına dikildi karanlık odada, başkasının elemine engel olmaya utanıyordu. Lyuba onunla ilgilenmiyordu, çünkü kendi acısından duyduğu keder insanı bütün diğer acı çekenlere karşı duyarsızlaştırır. Nikita izin almadan yatağa, Lyuba'nın ayakucuna oturdu, francalaları koynundan çıkardı, bir yerlere sokuşturmak istiyordu, ama şimdilik bir yer bulabilmiş değildi. (Potudan Nehri / Dönüş)”

“I came to see I was not just alone; I was free. Free of him. Free to be. So many women's lives are hindered, hampered, and ruined by husbands who will not leave long after they have ceased to be husbands or fathers. Dead wearing a hat, these men actively and energetically visit untold woe on those they once had once. I was not thus afflicted I saw.”

“I have also read that the Pox was caused by accidentally coinciding climatic, economic, and sociological crises. It would be more honest to say that the Pox was caused by our own refusal to deal with obvious problems in those areas. We caused the problems: then we sat and watched as they grew into crises. I have heard people deny this, but I was born in 1970. I have seen enough to know that it is true. I have watched education become more a privilege of the rich than the basic necessity that it must be if civilized society is to survive. I have watched as convenience, profit, and inertia excused greater and more dangerous environmental degradation. I have watched poverty, hunger, and disease become inevitable for more and more people.”
