Leon’s Quotes

“Знаете, однажды я вскочил внезапно среди ночи, разом проснувшись, и мне показалось, что-то происходит в мире... Мир совершенно изменился... Либо началась атомная война, либо я умираю... Оказалось, что я просто отлежал себе руку... Торопливо растёр, и всё кончилось благополучно.”
― Фридрих Горенштейн, Место
