Yevgeny Zamyatin
Literature is painting, architecture, and music.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
I've read and heard a lot of unbelievable stuff about those times when people lived in freedom -- that is, in disorganized wildness.

Yevgeny Zamyatin
Children are the only brave philosophers. And brave philosophers are, inevitably, children.

Explosions are not comfortable.

It is not possible to build on negative emotions. Genuine literature will come only when we replace hatred for man with love for man.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
I am like a machine being driven to excessive rotations: the bearings are incandescing and, in a minute, melted metal will begin to drip and everything will turn to nothing.
