Герберт Джордж Уэллс Цитаты о мужчинах
„Человек, который жрёт, как свинья, должен и выглядеть, как свинья.“
«Правда о Пайкрафте»* Мысль — удивительная вещь: то она течет медленно, как смола, то вспыхивает мгновенно, как молния.
«Чудотворец»
Лев Успенский, «Записки старого петербуржца»
Среди них есть и такие тупицы, которые способны отменить преподавание химии, если только не заверить их, что это «пролетарская» химия, или наложить запрет на любой орнамент, как реакционный, если в нём не фигурирует сочетание букв РСФСР... <br class="br">And in the face of gigantic difficulties they are trying to rebuild a new Russia among the ruins. We may quarrel with their principles and methods, we may call their schemes Utopian and so forth, we may sneer at or we may dread what they are doing, but it is no good pretending that there is no creative effort in Russia at the present time. A certain section of the Bolsheviks are hard-minded, doctrinaire and unteachable men, fanatics who believe that the mere destruction of capitalism, the disuse of money and trading, the effacement of all social differences, will in itself bring about a sort of bleak millennium. There are Bolsheviki so stupid that they would stop the teaching of chemistry in schools until they were assured it was "proletarian" chemistry, and who would suppress every decorative design that was not an elaboration of the letters R.S.F.S.R. ... <br class="br">4.

Герберт Джордж Уэллс книга Experiment in Autobiography
I confess that I approached Stalin with a certain amount of suspicion and prejudice. A picture had been built up in my mind of a very reserved and self-centred fanatic, a despot without vices, a jealous monopolizer of power. <…> I still expected to meet a ruthless, hard—possibly doctrinaire—and self-sufficient man at Moscow; a Georgian highlander whose spirit had never completely emerged from its native mountain glen. Yet I had had to recognize that under him Russia was not being merely tyrannized over and held down; it was being governed and it was getting on. <…> All such shadowy undertow, all suspicion of hidden emotional tensions, ceased for ever, after I had talked to him for a few minutes. <…> But Stalin was almost as much a trained mind, trained in the doctrines of Lenin and Marx, as those governess-trained minds of the British Foreign Office and diplomatic service, of which I have already written so unkindly. He was as little adaptable. <…> Sometimes I seemed to get him moving as I wanted him to move, but directly he felt he was having his feet shifted, he would clutch at some time-honoured phrase and struggle back to orthodoxy. <…> I have never met a man more candid, fair and honest, and to these qualities it is, and to nothing occult and sinister, that he owes his tremendous undisputed ascendency in Russia. <br class="br">гл. 9, 9; перевод с англ. яз., Wells, H.G.
