ANDREI PLATONOV

Busy remaking the world, man forgot to remake himself.

Do you know how much thinking and feeling I’ve done? It’s terrible. And nothing’s come of it.

If they don't think, people act senselessly.

We hate our squalor.

Everything comes to an end, only objects are left to pine in the dark.

When you've nothing to live for, you get to thinking inside your head.

I have a trend of my own.

Does the world have nothing inside but sorrow?

Happiness will come from materialism, not from meaning.

I want my word to be up to the scale of the feat of arms performed by the Russian soldier.

I have a trend of my own.

My body gets weak without truth.

A man who's never seen war is like a woman who's never given birth - soft in the head.

If they don't think, people act senselessly.

I lived and languished.

When you've nothing to live for, you get to thinking inside your head.

Does the world have nothing inside but sorrow?

The working class is my home country, and my future is linked with the proletariat.

If kids can forget their own mothers but still have a sense of comrade Lenin, then Soviet power really is here to stay!

Happiness will come from materialism, not from meaning.

Without truth I feel ashamed to be alive.

We hate our squalor.

I want my word to be up to the scale of the feat of arms performed by the Russian soldier.

At the time of the Revolution, dogs howled day and night all over Russia.

From our ugliness will grow the soul of the world.

We can't feel anything - all that's left inside us is dust.

What if we all suddenly get carried away thinking - who will be left to act?

Everything comes to an end, only objects are left to pine in the dark.

Do you know how much thinking and feeling I’ve done? It’s terrible. And nothing’s come of it.

Busy remaking the world, man forgot to remake himself.
