Andrei Platonov quotes:

The working class is my home country, and my future is linked with the proletariat.

If kids can forget their own mothers but still have a sense of comrade Lenin, then Soviet power really is here to stay!

At the time of the Revolution, dogs howled day and night all over Russia.

From our ugliness will grow the soul of the world.

What if we all suddenly get carried away thinking - who will be left to act?

I want my word to be up to the scale of the feat of arms performed by the Russian soldier.

When you've nothing to live for, you get to thinking inside your head.

My body gets weak without truth.

We can't feel anything - all that's left inside us is dust.

Without truth I feel ashamed to be alive.

I have a trend of my own.

Busy remaking the world, man forgot to remake himself.

A man who's never seen war is like a woman who's never given birth - soft in the head.

We hate our squalor.

Happiness will come from materialism, not from meaning.

I lived and languished.

If they don't think, people act senselessly.

Everything comes to an end, only objects are left to pine in the dark.

Does the world have nothing inside but sorrow?
