Quotes and Aphorisms 01.04.2017

Dear readers, today I invite you to an article with a special mood. On April Fool's Day, let's remember the quotes and aphorisms of Faina Ranevskaya. The aphorisms of this great mockingbird continue to excite, amaze, and catch in our days.

It seems that a whole era has passed (after all, Faina Ranevskaya has not been with us for more than 30 years), and this period was full of very significant historical events. Much has changed in the country, the changes are striking in the life of every family, every person. But it is worth flipping through these well-aimed phrases again, and you understand how little the person himself, his essence, psychology, mentality, attitude towards the world and others changes over time.

Strictly speaking, not all phraseological units attributed to Faina Georgievna are her own "invention". Those colleagues and few friends who had the good fortune to be in her house know that the actress had a habit of "catching" interesting phrases, proverbs, idioms great people. She fixed them on pieces of paper and hung them in the rooms.

Of course, they were “recorded for a short time”, perhaps they were creatively transformed, edited for a specific situation and characters. And then, said to the point and in her characteristic unique manner, they acquired the status of Faina Ranevskaya's aphorisms. That does not detract from their dignity at all!

And it does not negate the fact that she herself constantly gave birth to such impromptu. In the life of the actress there were many difficulties, problems, sometimes tragic circumstances. She was really, fatally alone. And humor, sarcasm, self-irony became a saving armor from the imperfection of the world and human injustice, cruelty and cynicism.

I tried, probably, very conditionally, to break down the well-known best aphorisms of Ranevskaya Faina Georgievna into thematic sections. I suggest you, dear readers, go on an exciting journey through this unique world of wise and well-aimed sayings. I assure you, it will not be boring and very informative!

People are like candles!…

Those around her were amazed by her boundless kindness. How she got along with the "prickly" character was incomprehensible. She managed to quickly distribute her salary and pension, and then hardly make it to the next one. Paid the man who walked the dog, nurses for injections. She transferred a substantial amount to the Leningrad House of Stage Veterans.

It was fashionable to be friends with her, especially not burdensome. In her house there were also those to whom Faina Georgievna treated with sincere respect: Vladimir Vysotsky, Anna Akhmatova, Sergey Yursky and a number of other guests dear to her heart. She always loved to treat, give and not expect anything in return. She herself ate little and was generally extremely unpretentious. But very observant. Ranevskaya's quotes and aphorisms about people are evidence of this.

People, like candles, are divided into two types: one - for light and heat, and the other - in the ass ...

Better be a good man, swearing, than a quiet, well-mannered creature.

Men and women are two poles of love

Faina Ranevskaya quotes and aphorisms about men and women sometimes gave out quite “salty”. However, on other topics, she could speak very undiplomatically. But it's sharp and precise. She herself experienced a very cruel disappointment in love in her early youth. And then she spoke quite sarcastically about her appearance and personal life. Of course, she fell in love, like any creative subtle nature. But she learned to successfully hide her true feelings behind a veil of irony. She watched other people's relations from the side, dropping linguistic masterpieces "in passing".

If a woman tells a man that he is the smartest, then she understands that she will not find another such fool.

Are you boasting, my dear, or are you complaining?

Medicine + diet = health? Is not a fact!

Many among the aphorisms of Faina Ranevskaya cool sayings about various aspects of medicine, health, she also went through diets, which were “in trend” even then. The health of the actress herself was rather weak. She was treated a lot, including in prestigious metropolitan clinics, from where she left with the following conviction: "The Kremlin hospital is a nightmare with all the amenities."

One of the actors calls Faina Georgievna, inquires about her health.
- My dear, - she complains, - such a nightmare! My head hurts, my teeth are to hell, my heart is tight, I cough terribly. Liver, kidneys, stomach - everything aches! My joints aches, I can hardly walk… Thank God that I am not a man, otherwise it would be a prostate gland!

About life and loneliness

“Remember: for everything that you do unkind, you will have to pay with the same coin ... I don’t know who is watching this, but they are watching, and very carefully.” This is one of Ranevskaya's aphorisms, which cannot be called cheerful or witty. This is “simply” a wise observation of a person who has experienced a lot, felt it. She was offended, sometimes absolutely consciously. As it happens not only in the theatrical environment, but in creative teams, bullying is usually more sophisticated. She learned to withdraw from unpleasant people, but the inevitable consequence of this was deep loneliness.

About theater and cinema: Stanislavsky's miscarriage

Biographers of Ranevskaya tell how she first appeared on the threshold of one of the theaters near Moscow. It was 1915, Faya managed to try herself in a number of theater projects in southern Russia. She came to the director of the theater with a letter of recommendation from a friend of the director, Moscow entrepreneur Sokolovsky.

“Dear Vanyusha,” a colleague wrote, “I am sending you this lady just to get rid of her. You yourself somehow delicately, with a hint, in parentheses, explain to her that she has nothing to do on stage, that she has no prospects. I myself, really, am uncomfortable doing this for a number of reasons, so you, my friend, somehow dissuade her from an acting career - it will be better for her and for the theater. This is a complete mediocrity, she plays all the roles in exactly the same way, her last name is Ranevskaya ... "

Fortunately, the addressee did not heed the entrepreneur's recommendations. And the world recognized one of the greatest actresses of the 20th century. In addition, we can now read the aphorisms and quotes of Faina Ranevskaya. True, in the theater for half a century she played only 17 roles, plus she embodied about the same number of film images.

I am Stanislavsky's miscarriage.

Criticesses are Amazons in menopause.

Once, on the southern sea, Ranevskaya pointed with her hand at a flying seagull and said:
- The Moscow Art Theater flew.

Success is the only unforgivable sin in relation to your loved one.

Making a bad movie is like spitting into eternity.

They say that this performance is not a success with the audience?
- Well, that's putting it mildly. I called the ticket office yesterday and asked when the performance started.
- So what?
- They answered me: “And when will it be convenient for you?”

I am watching this film for the fourth time and I must tell you that today the actors played like never before!

I lived with many theaters, but never enjoyed it.

I do not recognize the word "play". You can play cards, horse races, checkers. You have to live on the stage.

We were accustomed to single-celled words, scant thoughts, play Ostrovsky after that!

How wrong is the notion that there are no irreplaceable actors.

About colleagues: everything will be real!

Sergei Yursky said that after filming in Cinderella, as Faina Georgievna, she received an “indecently large” fee. She was really ashamed of this substantial amount, she began to ask her colleagues in the theater who needed what, and quickly spent this money. And only when she handed everything out, she came to her senses: she herself had nothing to buy a piece of fabric that she planned to purchase. Nevertheless, behind her back they slandered, and even in her face they taunted about her appearance and "unbearable" character. It was against this background that Ranevskaya's funny aphorisms about colleagues appeared.

(About director Y. Zavadsky) He will die from the expansion of fantasy.

(About director Y. Zavadsky) Perpetum male.

(Dialogue with Zavadsky)
- Faina Georgievna, you gobbled up all my director's idea with your acting!
- I feel like I've eaten shit!

I can't stand Mass in a brothel, - she said about the performances of the chief director in front of the troupe. - Do you know what Zavadsky dreams about? That he died and was buried in the Kremlin wall!

I am very sorry, Faina Georgievna, that you were not at the premiere of my new play, ”Victor Rozov Ranevskoy boasted. - The people at the box office staged a uniform massacre!
- And How? Did they get their money back?

The pearls that I will wear in the first act must be real, the capricious young actress demands.
“Everything will be real,” Ranevskaya reassures her. — Everything: pearls in the first act, and poison in the last.

About me: I'm like an old palm tree at the station

Each of us has our own Mulya, - Anna Akhmatova, one of her really close friends, consoled her.
- And what Mulya do you have? Faina Georgievna asked.
- “She squeezed her hands under a dark veil,” Anna Andreevna grinned.

They became friends during the war, in the evacuation in Tashkent. Then the poetess recalled: Ranevskaya constantly followed her with a notebook, wrote down thoughts and lines of future poems that Akhmatova “dropped”. And then, out of absent-mindedness, she melted the potbelly stove with them.
- Madam, you are 11 years old and will never be 12 - Akhmatova laughed. At that time, Ranevskaya was 46, and wash Akhmatova - 53.

Faina Georgievna, unlike many other wits, has always been very self-critical. Therefore, among the best aphorisms of Ranevskaya are her statements about herself.

Only the pill, the brain and the ass have a second half. I am completely whole!!!

My favorite disease is scabies: I scratched myself and still want to. And the most hated is hemorrhoids: neither to see for yourself, nor to show people.

Damned nineteenth century, damned upbringing: I can't stand when men are sitting.

Everyone who loved me didn't like me. And whom I loved - they did not love me. My appearance has robbed me of my privacy!

Who would know my loneliness? Damn him, this same talent that made me unhappy.

There are two, maybe three thoughts in my old head, but at times they raise such a fuss that it seems there are thousands of them.

I was smart enough to live my life stupidly.

For a long time they didn’t tell me that I’m a whore. Losing popularity.

All my life I've been terribly afraid of stupid people. Especially grandma. You never know how to talk to them without going down to their level.

This is not a room. This is a real well. I feel like a bucket that was dropped there.

I, like eggs, participate, but do not enter.

All my life I've been swimming in the toilet with a butterfly stroke.

Do you know what shit is, honey? So here it is in comparison with my life JAM!

I don't see faces, but personal insults.

I'm like an old palm tree at the station - no one needs it, but it's a pity to throw it away.

(Looking at the hole in her skirt) Nothing can stop the pressure of beauty!

I spoke long and unconvincingly, as if I were talking about the friendship of peoples.

Think and say what you will about me. Where have you seen a cat who would be interested in what the mice say about her?

What I do? I pretend to be healthy.

When I was 20 years old, I only thought about love. Now I just like to think.

I feel myself, but not well.

Are you ill, Faina Georgievna?
- No, I just look like that.

When I die, bury me and write on the monument: "Died of disgust."

My God, how life slipped by, I never even heard the nightingales sing.

It’s scary when you’re eighteen inside, when you admire beautiful music, poetry, painting, and it’s time for you, you haven’t done anything, but you’re just starting to live!

Old age and small pleasures

Faina Ranevskaya, whose quotes and aphorisms we recall today, has always loved animals. They brightened up her lonely existence. Mongrel named Boy, she hired nannies, fed with delicacies. She used to say, "My dog ​​lives like Sarah Bernhardt, and I live like a dog."

Old age is the time when the candles are on birthday cake cost more than the pie itself, and half of the urine goes to tests.

Old age is just bullshit. I believe that this is the ignorance of God when he allows you to live to old age.

Getting old is boring, but it's the only way to live long.

I still remember decent people... God, how old I am!

Memories are the treasures of old age.

Old age is when it’s not bad dreams that bother you, but bad reality.

Situations and dialogues

Faina Ranevskaya gave birth to quotes and aphorisms on the go. Sometimes she could quite sharply “shave off” the boor, and sometimes she invented elegant formulations. Rather, not for offenders who are unlikely to appreciate this verbal balance, but for more advanced colleagues.

Ranevskaya was walking down the street, some man pushed her. The ignoramus had the “wit” to also scold the elderly woman with dirty words. Faina Georgievna reacted outwardly imperturbably:
- For a number of reasons, I cannot now answer you with the words you use. But I sincerely hope that when you return home, your mother will jump out of the gateway and bite you properly.

Today I killed 5 flies: two males and three females.
- How did you define it?
- Two sat on a beer bottle, and three on a mirror.

Somehow she slipped and fell on the street. A man walked towards the actress.
- Pick me up! she asked. - Folk artists on the road do not roll ...

After the performance, the artists were taken home by a crowded bus. Suddenly, an obscene sound was heard in the crowd. Ranevskaya leaned over to her neighbor's ear and in a whisper, but so that everyone could hear, issued:
- Feel, my dear? Someone got a second wind!

Ranevskaya with all her family and huge luggage arrives at the station.
- It's a pity that we didn't take the piano, - says Faina Georgievna.
“Not witty,” one of the escorts remarks.
- Really not witty, - Ranevskaya sighs. - The fact is that I left all the tickets on the piano.

(To the administrator who found her completely naked in the dressing room)
- Doesn't it shock you that I smoke?

I love nature.
"And this after what she did to you?"

The bell does not work, when you come, knock with your feet.
- Why feet?
- But you are not empty handed going to come!

Memory of the heart

Faina Georgievna was unpretentious in everyday life. She didn't have a car or a cottage. Few people know that she was fond of painting. She gave away her paintings to colleagues, which were quite talentedly written.

Finally, let me remind you of a few more aphorisms by Faina Ranevskaya on various topics, which were recorded by the guests of her hospitable home.

(About Lenin) You know, when I saw this bald man on an armored car, I realized that we were in big trouble.

Do you understand my shallow thought?

Let it be a little gossip that should disappear between us.

Now, when a person is embarrassed to say that he does not want to die, he says this: he really wants to survive in order to see what happens next. As if if it were not for this, he would immediately be ready to lie down in the coffin.

Animals, which are few, were listed in the Red Book, and which are many - in the Book of Tasty and Healthy Food.

It's very hard to be a genius among goats.

I hate cynicism for its general availability.

Tolstoy said that there is no death, but there is love and memory of the heart. The memory of the heart is so painful, it would be better if it did not exist ... It would be better to kill the memory forever.

Talent is self-doubt and painful dissatisfaction with yourself and your shortcomings, which I have never seen in mediocrity.

Dear friends! The memory of the heart is indeed not always cloudless. But she leaves us both joyful and anxious moments of our life, everything that is dear and that actually makes up this life. Today we have touched an inexhaustible source - one of the facets of Faina Georgievna Ranevskaya's talent. Something remained outside the scope of this material, but we remembered a lot, experienced together with you. I hope this communication was bright and useful.

I thank the reader of my blog Lyubov Mironova for her help in preparing the material for this article.

The photographs of the famous Soviet photographer Dmitry Baltermants are used as illustrations for the article. He worked for many years in the Ogonyok magazine, for almost half a century the country looked at the world through his eyes. For many years, Baltermants was considered the main Soviet photographer who, during his lifetime, received recognition from his colleagues abroad. Thanks to Anna Blintsova, blog designer, for a wonderful job.

The queen of the second plan and the queen of aphorisms, most of which became winged, lived a long, rich life full of drama and loneliness. It is quite possible that it was loneliness that influenced Ranevskaya's specific sense of humor. Not everyone will be able to give out joke after joke almost all their lives (the actress lived for 88 years). Many believe that the actress came up with the witticisms on purpose. But Faina Georgievna didn’t even come up with quotes and aphorisms, but they simply came to her by themselves, involuntarily - bang, a new funny statement is ready.

Apt quotes about men, women and love

Ranevskaya performed at one of the literary and theatrical evenings. During the discussion, a girl of about sixteen asked: - Faina Georgievna, what is love? Ranevskaya thought and said: - I forgot. And after a second she added: - But I remember that this is something very pleasant.

Replicas were heard: - What a strange animal! What's the focus? - I think, - Ranevskaya boomed, - that this is just a widower who had the imprudence to marry again.

Once Faina Ranevskaya asked Anna Akhmatova: - Who is the husband of a sheep? Akhmatova said: - Sheep, so there is nothing to envy.

More than anything in my life, I loved falling in love.

A scandalous person, a lonely and vulnerable soul, a caustic lady with a thick voice, a homegrown philosopher with a cigarette and just an actress who can replace the whole group with herself. This is all - Faina Ranevskaya. She has a lot of various awards and titles, has played more than four dozen roles in cinema and theater. At the same time, Ranevskaya spoke not flatteringly about her filming in films: “The money is eaten, but the shame remains.” Despite this sarcasm, the audience remembered the images of her movie heroines forever, which is especially valuable, given that the actress did not have the main roles. Apt phrase about money is just one of witty phrases that she left behind. In principle, Faina Georgievna's statements were not very optimistic ... Ranevskaya's quotes are funny and sad at the same time.

It was one of those famous night viewings, after which the "leader of the peoples" made a short speech:
- Here Comrade Zharov is a good actor, he sticks on a mustache, sideburns or puts on a beard, and it is still immediately clear that this is Zharov. But Ranevskaya does not stick anything and is still always different ...

Ranevskaya invites guests and warns that the call is not working:

- Why feet, Faina Georgievna?
- But you're not going to come empty-handed! Ranevskaya approaches actress N., who imagines herself to be an irresistible beauty, and asks:
