“After all, a library too is nothing else but a large (bigger or smaller) sewer of human spirit. A definition that I should note down for my future Nobel lecture.” – Yuri Andrukhovych, The Moscoviad

“This is the city of losses. It would be nice to level it. To plant again thick Finnish forests, introduce bears, elk, deer: let them graze around the moss-covered Kremlin ruins, let perches swim in its rivers and lakes returned to life, let wild bees focus on storing honey in the deepest fragrant tree cavities. This land needs a rest from its criminal capital. Perhaps then it will be capable of something good. Since it can’t go on forever poisoning the world with the bacilli of evil, oppression, and aggressive dumb destruction!” – Yuri Andrukhovych, The Moscoviad

“Площина – це пустелі й царства, хребти, міста,
над якими лишень атмосферна густа висота
в сім ворожих небес – і яка з них розрада чи манна!”
“Space – is deserts and kingdoms, ranges, cities,
above which is just an atmospheric dense hight
into seven hostile heavens – and which of them is consolation or manna!”
