Quote by Serhiy Zhadan

“when there's an explosion behind the apartment blocks, he squats down in the tall grass, sits there for a bit, then musters the resolve to keep going. "TV," he thinks, irritated. "What does the TV have to do with this? And what does politics have to do with this? Who even needs politics?”

“I am not a magician, but I wish I could make an hourly circle from the world whose people are still servants of it and deadfully at the service of its perishable dependents.

And, that's how I could make sure that the clock hands can only create good humans henceforth, whether I am a magician or not.

“You know, sometimes if a man doesn’t believe in what he is doing he can do a much more interesting job because he isn’t emotionally caught up in his Cause. It wasn’t long before all the tall blond boys had formed The Abraham Lincoln Brigade—to hold off the hordes of fascism in Spain. And then had their asses shot off by trained troops. Some of them did it for adventure and a trip to Spain but they still got their asses shot off. I liked my ass. There really wasn’t much I liked about myself but I did like my ass and my pecker.”
