“Let go of idiots and clowns from your life. The circus must tour”

“God seems to love those who suffer. Have you ever seen a happy genius? No, everyone was tossed about by life, like a blade of grass in the wind. Happiness is a concept for average citizens in all respects, and there is no justice here.”

“It’s better to be a good person who “swears” than a quiet, well-mannered creature”

“Ranevskaya has invented a new remedy for insomnia and shares with Rina Zelena: “You have to count to three.” Maximum - until half past three.”

“People create their own problems - no one forces them to choose boring professions, marry the wrong people or buy uncomfortable shoes.”

“The main thing is to live a living life, and not rummage through the nooks and crannies of memory.”

“I am amused by people’s excitement over trifles; I was just as stupid myself. Now, before the finish line, I understand clearly that everything is empty. All you need is kindness and compassion.”

“Life goes by without bowing like an angry neighbor.”

“Life is too short to waste it on diets, greedy men and bad moods.”

“To gain recognition one must, even must, die”

“There are a million fans, but there is no one to go to the pharmacy”

“Loneliness is when there is a telephone in the house and the alarm clock rings”

“Ranevskaya was asked: what is the most difficult thing for her?”

“I was smart enough to live my life stupidly. I live only by myself - what self-restraint.”

“What kind of world is this? There are so many idiots around, how much fun they make!”

“You have to live in such a way that the bastards remember you”
