More quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
A writer who wants to be translated and published abroad faces a very difficult challenge: first of all, he must make sure that his book is cosmopolitan in the best sense of the word, that it is interesting to a global audience. Nobody is going to read about problems that they don’t care about.
Sergei Lukyanenko
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
When leaders betray their people and the people don't overthrow them, it's not just the leaders who should be blamed.
Sergei Lukyanenko
If it's possible to do something, sooner or later someone's going to do it.
Sergei Lukyanenko
Evil has no need to bother with eliminating Good. It's far simpler to let Good fight against itself.
Sergei Lukyanenko
What was my truth worth, if I was prepared to defend the entire world, but not those who were close to me? If I subdued hate, but wouldn't give love a chance?
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
When there are strange things going on all around, every coincidence should be considered very carefully.

This is the inevitable consequence of a popular movie: you become the guy who wrote the book that inspired the movie. Frankly speaking, I find it a bit insulting.
Sergei Lukyanenko
Drink your coffee, it clears out the brain in the morning
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
Experience is primarily the ability to restrain our fleeting impulses.
Sergei Lukyanenko
Being on the side of the Light is much tougher than being on the side of the Dark.
Sergei Lukyanenko
All we can do is try not to fall.
Sergei Lukyanenko
If you have love in you, it's a strength. But if you are in love, it's a weakness.
Sergei Lukyanenko
When people love each other, when they find each other out of thousands and millions of people. It's always destiny.
Sergei Lukyanenko
We're not given the chance to choose absolute truth. Truth's always two-faced. The only thing we have is the right to reject the lie we find most repugnant.
Sergei Lukyanenko
One day you will hear the sound of time rustling as it slips through your fingers like sand. Remember me then. I wish you luck.
Sergei Lukyanenko
What an unfortunate instrument the guitar is! An instrument of such great nobility, a genuine monarch of music-- reduced to a pitiful lump of wood with six strings, constantly abused by people with no ear and no voice.
Sergei Lukyanenko
Because love stands above Darkness and Light.Because love is not sex or a shared faith, or the joint maintenance of a household and the upbringing of children.Because love is also Power.And Light and Darkness, people and Others, morality and law, the Ten Commandments and the Great Treaty have damn all to do with it.
