Nobody should be whipped. Remember that, once and for all. Neither man nor animal can be influenced by anything but suggestion.

Dialogo tra Levi Matteo e Satana (il mago Woland).

"Se vieni da me, perché non mi hai salutato, ex pubblicano?", replico Woland severo.
"Perché non voglio che tu stia in salute", rispose brusco il nuovo venuto.
"Ma dovrai rassegnarti a questo", replicò Woland e un sorriso increspò la sua bocca, "sei appena apparso sul tetto e già hai fatto una sciocchezza e ti dirò quale: è il tuo tono. Hai pronunciato le parole come se non riconoscessi le tenebre e il male. Sii tanto cortese da riflettere su questa domanda: che cosa sarebbe il tuo bene se non ci fosse il male, e come apparirebbe la terra se non ci fossero le ombre? Le ombre nascono dagli oggetti e dalle persone. Ecco l'ombra della mia spada. Ma ci sono le ombre degli alberi e degli esseri viventi. Non vorrai per caso sbucciare tutto il globo terrestre buttando via tutti gli alberi e tutto ciò che è vivo per godere della tua fantasia della nuda luce? Sei uno sciocco."
(Il maestro e Margherita)

Eine Viertelstunde später saß Rjuchin gänzlich einsam vor einer Zärte, leerte dazu ein Glas nach dem andern und war sich bewußt, daß er in seinem Leben nichts mehr ändern, sondern nur noch vergessen konnte.

Mikhail Bulgakov

You pronounced your words as if you don’t acknowledge the shadows, or the evil either. Would you be so kind as to give a little thought to the question of what your good would be doing if evil did not exist, and how the earth would look if the shadows were to disappear from it?

Mikhail Bulgakov

The tongue can conceal the truth, but the eyes never! You're asked an unexpected question, you don't even flinch, it takes just a second to get yourself under control, you know just what you have to say to hide the truth, and you speak very convincingly, and nothing in your face twitches to give you away. But the truth, alas, has been disturbed by the question, and it rises up from the depths of your soul to flicker in your eyes and all is lost.

Then he hung up, the scoundrel!

و أردف وهو يشير نحو أزازيلو: يستطيع إصابة أي من أذيني القلب أو البطينين.
و لم تفهم مرغريتا ما قاله فوراً، و لما فهمت هتفت دهشة: و لكنها محجوبة!
صر كوروفييف: أيتها الغالية...هنا بيت القصيد! وهنا كل النكهة! فأي شخص يستطيع أن يصيب هدفاً مكشوفاً!

Да не си мислите, че бих си позволил да налея на дама водка? Това е чист спирт!

Единственото, което може да спаси смъртно ранен котарак... е глътка бензин.
