Famous quotes containing the word russia:

    “In my opinion it is harmful to place important things in the hands of philanthropy, which in Russia is marked by a chance character. Nor should important matters depend on leftovers, which are never there. I would prefer that the government treasury take care of it.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Today’s difference between Russia and the United States is that in Russia everybody takes everybody else for a spy, and in the United States everybody takes everybody else for a criminal.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “... gathering news in Russia was like mining coal with a hatpin.”
