More quotes by Yevgeny Zamyatin
To reflect the entire spectrum, the dynamics of the adventure novel must be invested with a philosophic synthesis of one kind or another.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
All women are lips, nothing but lips.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Along the blade of a knife lies the path of paradox—the single most worthy path of the fearless mind . . . .
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Let the answers be wrong, let the philosophy be mistaken - errors are more valuable than truths: truth is of the machine, error is alive truth reassures, error disturbs.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
A man is like a novel: until the very last page you don't know how it will end. Otherwise it wouldn't be worth reading.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
You are afraid of it because it is stronger than you you hate it because you are afraid of it you love it because you cannot subdue it to your will. Only the unsubduable can be loved.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
You're in bad shape. It looks like you're developing a soul.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Individual consciousness is just sickness.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Only lifeless mechanisms move along faultlessly straight lines and compass circles. In art the surest way to destroy is to canonize one given form and one philosophy: that which is canonized quickly dies of obesity, of entropy.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
What makes you think that nonsense is bad? If they'd nurtured and cared for human nonsense over the ages the way they did intelligence, it might have turned into something of special value.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
There is no final one revolutions are infinite.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Revolution is everywhere, in everything. There is no final revolution, no final number.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
What is it to you if I don't want others to want for me, if I want to want myself - if I want the impossible.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
We have long become overgrown with calluses we no longer hear people being killed. (X)
Yevgeny Zamyatin
And everyone must lose his mind, everyone must! The sooner the better! It is essential — I know it.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Her smile was a bite, and I was its target.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
All of life in its complexity and beauty is forever minted in the gold of words.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Heretics are the only bitter remedy against the entropy of human thought.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Name me the final number, the highest, the greatest. But that's absurd! If the number of numbers is infinite, how can there be a final number? Then how can you speak of a final revolution? There is no final one. Revolutions are infinite.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
And tomorrow--who knows what happens? Do you get it? I don't know and no one knows--it's all unknown! You understand, that this is the end to the Known? This is the new, the improbable, the unpredictable.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
