Yevgeny Zamyatin
If we have no heretics we must invent them, for heresy is essential to health and growth.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Her smile was a bite, and I was its target.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
But you can't plead with autumn. No. The midnight wind stalked through the woods, hooted to frighten you, swept everything away for the approaching winter, whirled the leaves. (The North)
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Individual consciousness is just sickness.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Heretics are the only bitter remedy against the entropy of human thought.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
