The mighty power of logic cleanses all it touches.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
The whole world is one immense woman, and we are in her very womb, we are not yet born, we are joyfully ripening.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
The only means of ridding man of crime is ridding him of freedom.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
The myth about the angel who rebelled against his Lord is the most beautiful of all myths, the proudest, the most revolutionary, the most immortal of them all.
Yevgeny Zamyatin

Yevgeny Zamyatin
The flame will cool tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.... But someone must see this already today, and speak heretically today about tomorrow. Heretics are the only (bitter) remedy against the entropy of human thought.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
You're in a bad way! Apparently, you have developed a soul.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
To an artist, creating an image means being in love with it.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Sentences of the court on moral issues are always passed in absentia.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Here I saw, with my own eyes, that laughter was the most terrible weapon: you can kill anything with laughter - even murder itself.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
We comes from God, I from the Devil.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
The art of the word is painting + architecture + music.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
The most effective way of destroying art is the canonization of one given form. And one philosophy.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
What we need in literature today are vast philosophic horizons... we need the most ultimate, the most fearsome, the most fearless Why? and What next?.
