Ranevskaya's Aphorisms
- Life is a short promenade, just before the eternal sleep.
- Solitude is a house that has a telephone, but the only ringing comes from the alarm-clock.
- Life is a sky-dive: out of a cunt, into the grave.
- Ageing is tedious, but it is the only way to live long.
- I spent all my life swimming in a toilet-bowl, in the butterfly style.

Famous quotes containing the word aphorisms:
“In the mountains, the shortest way is from peak to peak: but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are addressed, great and lofty.”
