“Tragedy is not deep and sharp if it can be shared with friend.”
Varlam Shalamov, Kolyma Tales

“Life repeats Shakespearian themes more often than we think. Did Lady Macbeth, Richard III, and King Claudius exist only in the Middle Ages? Shylock wanted to cut a pound of flesh from the body of the merchant of Venice. Is that a fairy tale?”
Varlam Shalamov, Kolyma Tales

“There is a much that a man should not see, should not know, and if he should see it, it is better for him to die.”
Varlam Shalamov, Kolymskie rasskazy
