QUOTES and PAINTINGS by VLADIMIR PERVUNINSKY





Humans: become atheists each and all! God will nevertheless welcome you with all his heart !  


There are those who have a desire to love, but do not have the capacity to love. - Giovanni  Papini




The Christian notion of the possibility of redemption is incomprehensible to the computer.


The difference between a top-flight creative man and the hack is his ability to express powerful meanings indirectly. - Vance Packard





Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking, but all in harmony together.



Our time is so specialised that we have people who know more and more or less and less. - Alvar Aalto






                        Poets are people who can still see the world  through the eyes of children  -  Alphonse Daudet



     Limit to courage? There is no limit to courage.     -  Gabriele D'Annunzio



              


            Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great.


  As you know, God is usually on the side of the big squadrons against the small.  -  Roger  de  Rabutin

Castles in the air - they are so easy to take refuge in. And so easy to build too.


Do not use that foreign word "ideals." We have that excellent native word "lies."
  - Henrik Ibsen





I could prove God statistically. Take the human body alone - the chances that all the functions of an individual would just happen is a statistical monstrosity.


Polling is merely an instrument for gauging public opinion. When a president or any other leader pays attention to poll results, he is, in effect, paying attention to the views of the people. Any other interpretation is nonsense.   - George  Gallup


I like this life. I like it when it's hard, and I like it better when it's not, but I know you don't get the sweet part without the bitter. - Holly Near
