Mikhail Bulgakov

Mikhail Bulgakov
But what can be done, the one who loves must share the fate of the who is loved.
Mikhail Bulgakov
I challenge you to a duel!” screamed the cat, sailing over their heads on the swinging chandelier.
Mikhail Bulgakov
Difficult folk, these women!
Mikhail Bulgakov
the hope that there she would manage to regain her happiness made her fearless
Mikhail Bulgakov
There's only one degree of freshness — the first, which makes it also the last
Mikhail Bulgakov
I hereby certify that the bearer of this note, Nikolai Ivanovich, spent the night in question at Satan's ball, having been lured there in a transportational capacity... Hella, put in parentheses! And write 'hog.' Signed- Behemoth.
Mikhail Bulgakov
Well, as everyone knows, once witchcraft gets started, there's no stopping it.
Mikhail Bulgakov
Why try to pursue what is completed?

Cowardice was undoubtedly one of the most terrible vices - thus spoke Yeshua Ha-Nozri. 'No, philosopher, I disagree with you: it is the most terrible vice!
Mikhail Bulgakov

Mikhail Bulgakov
