Above all, translators must be native speakers. It’s not because they speak the language better – I understand that sometimes a foreigner can learn a language better than native speakers. It has more to do with intimate knowledge of the society for which the book is being translated.
Sergei Lukyanenko
A car's not the right place for showing off to a girl—the bed's the place for that. The consequences of a mistake there are more upsetting, but less tragic.
Sergei Lukyanenko
There is no abstract Evil you have to understand that! Its roots are here, all around us, in this herd that goes on chewing and having a good time only an hour after a murder!
Sergei Lukyanenko
Czech beer in bottles is the corpse of real beer in a glass coffin.
Sergei Lukyanenko
Generally speaking, we can and should say everything. We just have to choose the right time, otherwise the truth can be worse than a lie.
Sergei Lukyanenko
Love was something different. Love was pure delight, a fountain of emotions, sensual delights, and enjoying spending time together.
Sergei Lukyanenko
