When Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov wrote a novel about the Master, he hardly imagined that he was creating the most significant work of Russian literature of the twentieth century. Today, the work is deservedly included in the lists of the most read books in the world, while remaining the object of endless debate among literary scholars and philosophers.

And for website“The Master and Margarita” is simply a favorite story, full of mysteries and endless wisdom. What is needed most in our difficult times.

  • Who told you that there is no true, faithful, eternal love in the world? May the liar's vile tongue be cut out!
  • We speak to you in different languages, as always, but the things we talk about do not change.
  • Evil lurks in men who avoid wine, games, the company of lovely women, and table conversation. Such people are either seriously ill or secretly hate those around them.

  • These women are difficult people!
  • A person without a surprise inside, in his box, is uninteresting.
  • Everything will be right, the world is built on this.
  • Yes, man is mortal, but that would not be so bad. The bad thing is that he is sometimes suddenly mortal, that's the trick!

  • An unhappy person is cruel and callous. And all just because good people mutilated him.
  • Do you judge by the suit? Never do this. You can make a mistake, and a very big one at that.
  • Never ask for anything! Never and nothing, and especially among those who are stronger than you. They will offer and give everything themselves.
  • He who loves must share the fate of the one he loves.
  • For mercy... Would I allow myself to pour vodka for the lady? This is pure alcohol!
  • The second freshness is nonsense! There is only one freshness - the first, and it is also the last. And if the sturgeon is second freshness, then this means that it is rotten!
  • It is easy and pleasant to speak the truth.
  • Why pursue in the footsteps of what is already over?
  • - Dostoevsky died.
    - I protest, Dostoevsky is immortal!
  • And fact is the most stubborn thing in the world.
  • All theories are worth one another. Among them there is one according to which everyone will be given according to their faith. May it come true!
  • What country's wine do you prefer at this time of day?
  • My drama is that I live with someone I don’t love, but I consider it unworthy to ruin his life.
  • - Cowardice is one of the most terrible human vices.
    - No, I dare to object to you. Cowardice is the most terrible human vice.
  • Never be afraid of anything. This is unreasonable.
  • The most terrible anger is the anger of powerlessness.
  • What would your good do if evil did not exist, and what would the earth look like if shadows disappeared from it?
  • Understand that the tongue can hide the truth, but the eyes can never!
  • People are like people. They love money, but this has always been the case... Humanity loves money, no matter what it is made of, whether leather, paper, bronze or gold. Well, they are frivolous... well, well... and mercy sometimes knocks on their hearts... ordinary people... in general, they resemble the old ones... The housing issue only spoiled them.
  • No matter what pessimists say, the earth is still absolutely beautiful, and under the moon it is simply unique.

I like Woland’s quotes, which have become popular:


1....the one who until recently believed that he was in control of something suddenly finds himself lying motionless in a wooden box, and those around him, realizing that the person lying there is no longer of any use, burn him in the oven.

2. Yes, man is mortal, but that would not be so bad. The bad thing is that he is sometimes suddenly mortal, that's the trick! And he can’t say at all what he will do this evening.

3. A brick will never fall on anyone’s head for no reason.

4....they are people like people. They love money, but this has always been the case... Humanity loves money, no matter what it is made of, whether leather, paper, bronze or gold. Well, they are frivolous... well, well... and mercy sometimes knocks on their hearts... ordinary people... in general, they resemble the old ones... the housing problem has only spoiled them...

5. I like to sit low - it’s not so dangerous to fall from low.

6. Something, your will, evil lurks in men who avoid wine, games, the company of lovely women, and table conversation. Such people are either seriously ill or secretly hate those around them. True, exceptions are possible. Among the people who sat down with me at the banquet table, I sometimes came across amazing scoundrels!

7. A fact is the most stubborn thing in the world.

8. Never ask for anything! Never and nothing, and especially among those who are stronger than you. They will offer and give everything themselves!

9. Manuscripts do not burn.

10. He who loves must share the fate of the one he loves.

11....what would your good do if evil did not exist, and what would the earth look like if shadows disappeared from it?

Yerzhan's answer.


1-2. Woland says that if there is no person, there is no problem...

3. A brick falls on a man’s head not because of mystical will, but because he was pushed by the killer, since in the novel, as a result of the investigation into the death of M.A. Berlioz, the investigators will declare it a murder.

4.People did not change at all during the time that passed after the October Revolution, but most of them ended up without housing.

5.Keep your head down - this is the meaning of existence in the USSR.

6. Woland teaches trade workers to waste their lives, advising an elderly man in a hat with a Demoulin ribbon (a symbol of the French Revolution and courage) to indulge in the pleasures of a young rake, becoming like the last scoundrels.

7. A fact is only what Woland declares to be a fact.

8. The principle of not asking for anything, this is one of the principles of the criminal world: don’t ask for anything, don’t be afraid of anyone or anything, don’t trust anyone. All the despots in the world preached to slaves not to grumble for the sake of their peace and safety.

9. The manuscripts around Bulgakov burned endlessly. Temples were destroyed, priceless icons burned, relics were sold, brilliant people died...

11. Woland, speaking about light and shadow, deliberately distorts obvious concepts; there are no shadows without light, as we know it was light that gave birth to all life on Earth, including humans.

Facts are stubborn things

Facts are stubborn things

The saying gained popularity after the publication (1794) of the English translation of the novel by the French writer Lesage (1668-1747) “The History of Gilles Blas” (10, 1); the translation was made by the English novelist Tobias George Smollett (1721-1771). To attribute the saying, as is sometimes done, to Lesage himself is a mistake; in the French text of the novel: "Les faits parlent!" (“The facts speak!”). Before Smollett’s translation, the proverb was already found in literature, for example, in the English writer Elliott’s book “Field Husbandry.”
