One-Two QUOTES

1 " It is hard to take the last step, but the hardest thing is to make a choice between the unwillingness to live and the inability to die. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

2 " They always act this way: push those who are falling. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

3 " Hope, tell me how could it be possible that grief and happiness are scattered all over the world so unevenly? Why do some people get all the troubles and misfortunes while the others are intoxicated with the abundance of material belongings, fat bellies and money? Why is there such injustice? Or, maybe, we are mistaken it’s unfair!? "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

4 " Is it so hard to offer your help and sympathy to somebody in grief? It takes a little to make one step, but, in an inexplicable manner, it stretches into thousands of kilometers. All of us are full of empathy and consolation but always prefer to express it from a distance. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

5 " People! Please. Listen. Our life, our bodies are the most authentic clinical record ever! Why do you have to ask for any other one, alien, fake, distorted by illegible handwriting belonging to someone who has never been us and has never tried to understand us? Do you think that is right? "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

6 " Maybe the consequences of someone’s unreason can be remedied only with a new unreason? "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

7 " It always turns out this way: at first people idolize you, swear to be your faithful friend forever and then spit in your tea and in your soul, too. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

8 " I think everything’s beautiful that is done through human’s heart and soul, that makes one’s inner world visible, that gives a chance to look at oneself from outside – everything is beautiful, even us. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

9 " We always humble ourselves before bastards - it has already become a tradition. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

10 " Sometimes it feels like you and I are at the movie theater, sitting next to each other and watching the same movie. People say something, argue incessantly, even fight, but this is all somewhere far away, on the other side of the screen, and we are just passive onlookers unable to affect the course of events. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

11 " It is worthy of note that killing oneself and killing someone is not the same. For the former, one should lose one’s faith, for the latter, one should never have any. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

12 " Oh, this tormenting concern that your neighbor’s life might be better than yours! And how great it feels when you realize that the truth is exactly the opposite; and we’re not so different after all. Nоthing brings true neighbors together like a little friendly competition. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

13 " All our life we had been dreaming to get through every little hole into this beautiful and unfamiliar world where parents and children love each other not for something but in spite of everything, to plunge into this fairy world entirely, settle down and live there. So why didn’t I feel happy when it happened for real? "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

14 " I should be grateful to the knife that’s curing me for being so sharp. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

15 " People have no limits either in love or in hatred. But is it their fault? They despise us because they are afraid, for we remind them that getting crippled or sick might happen to anyone; or, perhaps, the true reason of their hatred lies much deeper inside, stemming from the hidden ugliness of their own souls? "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

16 " Probably, sooner or later every person founds oneself to be needless. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

17 " How perfectly evil spirit and beauty can combine in one person, harmonically supplementing each other. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

18 " Would he as well neglect the perishing person, wouldn’t he help to get up, would he turn away? I think I know the answer is obvious. He was flying so high above each of us that after falling down he got below everybody else. To be precise, he was simply knocked down. And we, none of us, just did nothing. Thus, with everybody’s silent acquiescence, the best of us were eliminated in order to let others decay. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

19 " What if initially they had named you Faith and me Hope, but afterwards they forgot who of us had which name and swapped them around by mistake? You always believe that everything is going to be all right, and your faith helps me.”
“And you hope that it will be that way. We have this close bond between us,” and, after thinking a while, you added, “All people need hope, no one can live without it; and our hope is way stronger when it is warmed up by faith. So it isn’t really important who is Faith and who is Hope; the main thing is that we are connected together. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two

20 " What is the point of living if we are going to die anyway? What difference does it make if it’s going to happen now or later? All we have to do is to take a step and jump off; that will resolve all problems, answer all questions at a time. And what if we are already flying down? We have jumped off, – perhaps, right after the birth, – not even knowing about it! The ground is already near; we just have the last moment to live and finally realize we are already dead for a long time. "

― Igor Eliseev , One-Two
