“N-no-o, all that excitement, it wouldn't reach us,' Timosha spoke gloomily. 'We're like the sunken city of Kitezh, living at the bottom of the lake. We do not hear a thing, and the water over us is muddy and sleepy. And on the surface, way above - why, everything's in flames, and the alarms are ringing.' (“A Provincial Tale”)”

“The philosophy of the province is a philosophy of a closed circle that does not allow an apostasy, without which there is no creativity. The philosophy of the province is a normative and normalizing, suprapersonal and impersonal philosophy, it shuts out all aspects of life, education, sport, nutrition, nature, love, work, language, religion and death (which is far from being the death of an individual) replacing life with rigid forms of the normative which apply to all.”

“Urdimos tramas, dibujamos caricaturas, parodiamos, para encontrar algo de vida entre los muertos. Cantamos en un idioma que ignorábamos, y dos o tres palabras y toda la melodía y el ritmo y la intensidad nos suministraron historias mucho mejores que la original, casi siempre distintas, pero no equivocadas; intuíamos la canción, y las palabras contenían legendarias resonancias, parecían estar dichas para uno. Éramos minúsculos, provincianos pero también adivinos.”

“I would say that it is an advantage to belong to a small country. We are apt to be less provincial in scholarly undertakings. We don't have enough literature in various problems - we must always look on the whole world. No country can be so provincial as a big country. The United States is, in my opinion, the most provincial country I have lived in - an I'm afraid that England and France don't come very far behind.”
