    Yuri [Baturin] (politician and cosmonaut). In space the most interesting - crew.

    Leo Tolstoy. Present life is accomplished, where it is imperceptible. No one sees, as grass grows and grain ripens.

    [Konfutsiy]. I know how to catch fish, it in the water. I know how to catch bird, it in air. I know, as to grasp snake and mole in the earth. But where and as to grasp dragon?

    Dragon. I know how to swallow [Konfutsiya]. But as to gorge [Lao]-[Tszy]?

    [Lao]-[Tszy]. Dragon must be caught in itself.

    For [ya]. [Slovo] “infinity” must be replaced “with immensity”. That is infinite for one, completely [obemlemo] for another. The butterfly, that lives one day, in state to the hardly present the life of man, but person, who lives 70 years, does not understand, which means one day of butterfly. If man understands infinity of the day of butterfly, he will feel eternity.

    Spinoza. The thus, [sovershenneyshiy] person not about which so much thinks as about death.

    [Ya]. Spinoza died the 42nd year olds from tuberculosis.

    Spinoza. Itself I about this nothing know and I do not want to know. Since that existing regarding exists, but not existing regarding does not exist. Death - not existence. Consequently, it does not exist. Eternity - existence, therefore, it is.

    Alexander [Lazarevich]. Spinoza says that everything with interconnected circuit of cause and effect, and in my opinion around one chaos.

    Philosopher [Zarbabov]. have we in MGU seminar for necessarily and chance. Leader of [bukhtel] to us about the regularity. It is said, chance - special case of regularity. In the morning it went to the seminar for upper cup mossy, in trolley bus it was torn away also on the darkness. Outright. The seminar ended on that.

    In it as in Chinese,

    The whole day it sits in the nest,
    It rummages…
    in to down.
    You do know what is infinity is?

    I know [Ya]. [Ne].

    [Vovka].

    To Pope of [zdelali] boots,

    Number in kindergarten

    [Vanka].

    I arrived from to the village
    To [Marusyu] to look.
    I see, there is here people much,
    But There is no [marusi] entirely.

    Fog. How do you do, [Vantya].

    [Vanka]. How do you do, [Mantya].

    Fog. You from where?

    [Vanka]. From the village.

    Promised to you I, [Mantya],
    Bast sandals are new to [prinest].

    Moderator of the trade-union committee of writers. We are created so that there would be no [prazdnoshayushchikhsya] and neglected writers. We must assume all, who are printed, even those, who sat in the prison.

    Deputy moderator. We must assume even those, who will sit in the prison.

    [Ya]. [Tolko] I entered the trade-union committee of writers in order not to be that accused of the sponging, as in the newspaper “Soviet culture” appears the article “roof”, where it is black on white written, that the so-called trade-union committees became roof for the doubtful personalities and the spongers. They covered trade-union committee, but, fortunately was brought down the Soviet regime.


    Wife of the lead

    And lead said to the wife of its: “Do not look at me, as I will recline with the prostitutes”. And the wife of lead piously observed prohibition. But wanderers once arrived and on the custom first they reclined with the daughters of lead, and they then required lead itself together with the wife. The wife of the lead of [uzrela], as wanderers they reclined with the lead, and immediately became salt pillar. Wanderers threw lead and they began greedily it to lick. By them salt was not sufficient. Since then whoever it came to the lead, they first of all licked its wife, and they already then made demands on daughters and owner. And the more they it licked, the more affectionate they became and the more reliable. The proverb so that arose: “You want to lick wife To [lotovu]?” Thus told wives husbands, [koi] by all satiated and desired [solenenkogo]. Tsar Solomon ordered to place wife To [lotovu] in holy of holies and came to it, after satiating forty prostitutes on the bed. And immediately ogive Solomon returned to the prostitutes, glorifying righteous lead for the fact that he has this righteous wife. The wife Of [lotova] weighed exactly pood after it became salt pillar. Therefore it appeared the proverb- allegory: “I with it the pood of salt ate”. And they understood everything, with which the discussion in reality dealt.

    [Yakunin]. Immediately after the putsch Of [ponomarev] brought to us [Gaydara] Chubais. They sat as schoolboys, and we asked, that they are collected to make, if they enter into the government. To Yeltsin they meanwhile brought Svyatoslav Fedorov, and there was danger, that will be appointed it. Yeltsin called us for the consultation. We are mudflow for the table. And here I suddenly for some reason began to shout and even to beat by cam along the table: “If you do not appoint [Gaydara], democratic union will leave in the opposition! Have this in the form!”

    Yeltsin. It is good, we will take into consideration your opinion.

    [Yakunin]. After two hours premier assigned [Gaydar]. But Yeltsin told me. “Gleb [Palych], be turned, you come to me at any time”. But soon it washed down, and all approaches it blocked [Korzhakov].

    Maria Fedorovna. They began to drag me to political education. And they entrusted Marx's pamphlet. I tell them:
    - Who this did transfer?
    - A that such?
    - It is here written: “Fight [borbuetsya] by fight”.
    - This is dialectics.
    - This is simple balderdash, illiterate transfer!

    Marx. Life - this is fight.

    Putin. [Tekvando]. Here they were encountered on the carpet, they bowed, and they would can simple into the forehead to give.

    Truths of this simple,

    Hangman

    And hangman left to hang. And here one he hung wrong, and another obliquely, and the third directly. And they said everything: “Earlier it hung at random, and now it hangs directly”. But from this no one not more easily: neither fact, whom it hung nor fact, for whom it hung. Neither that, whom it hung obliquely nor that, whom it hung wrong nor that, whom it hung directly. And no one said the thanks to hangman for his difficult labor. But indeed he thus tried to hang directly.

    Introduction.

    I went by forest, song he sang.
    The bear pressed to me.
    I wanted to embrace him,
    He said: “E… to the mother!”

    Alexander [Pavlovn]. Here is the fresco of terrible law court. Sinners are fried in hell. But to understand is necessary symbolically. Infernal fire - this of flour of conscience.

    Cat. But as to understand resurrection itself? Indeed corpses leave from the earth, from the water, from the fire and even from the mouth of beast living and unharmed.

    Cat. But Christ?

    Alexander [Pavlovn]. This, of course, fairy tale.

    [Ya]. [Ne] I know as there after death, and dead persons rise again with the life and become all more close ones and real. Me it does not interest, that there after death. To me it is important that here and now.

    [Ya]. [Pok] I am living, you living. But when me it will not be, will remain this play. And each time, when they will read it and listen to, we everything will rise again.

    Alexander [Lazarevich]. Here this and there is a present theater. Theater begins not from the canteen, but from the resurrection.

    Ya. A eternal life continues on the scene.

    Liubimov. But already from the scene smoothly it passes in the foyer, into the canteen, in the metro, into the trolley bus.

    Ya. in Zhiguli, into [toyoty], into the Mercedes.

    Liubimov. Well, this already you were sufficient. To Zhiguli where not it went, while into [toyoty] - this already too.

    [Ya]. [Po]-[vashemu], the less the speed, the nearer to the eternity.

    Liubimov. Here precisely! More quietly you will go - further you will be. So that, if you please, you disperse quietly. Can include your telephones and pagers. And I entreat you, do not leave chewing gum on the backs of armchairs.
