21 " Come on, girls. Either he's crazy, or he's telling the truth. "
― Valentin Rasputin , Farewell to Matyora
22 " ...an unknown sin needs all the more expiation. "
23 " If you're being swept away, off somewhere, then why count the pebbles on the shore; they're on the shore, after all. "
24 " It's a fact that even death looks good in company. "
25 " Everything that happens is for the best, so that life is happier and more interesting. Just live without looking around or thinking. "
26 " And if you don't like it here, you can go somewhere else, where it's better, no road is closed to you. "
27 " Slowly but surely life becomes normal, and a man gets used to it, it doesn't happen any other way. "
28 " May be it's hard to tell from us what people were like in the old days, but no one looks behind himself anymore. Everyone's rushing headlong. They're out of breath, stumbling on every step, but they keep on running...No time to look back, there's no time to look underfoot...as though someone's chasing them. "
