"Now let's exchange a few words about the conditions of our duel, first I'd like to know if you consider it necessary to resort to the formality of a small quarrel to serve as a pretext for my challenge?" "No, it's better to dispense with such formalities." #Turgenev25

The bailiff grew lazy and even began gaining weight, as every Russian does when he comes upon "a bed of roses." #Turgenev25 #FathersAndSons

What's to be done, Vasya? A son's a piece cut off. He's like a falcon: he comes & goes whenever he likes; while you and I are like mushrooms growing in the hollow of a log: we sit side by side & never budge. Except that I'll always be here for you, as you will for me. #Turgenev25

About the plague in Bessarabia #Turgenev25 #FathersAndSons The term "Bessarabia" (Basarabia in Romanian) has nothing to do with Arabia, but is derived from the Wallachian princely family of Basarab, who ruled there for around 150 years in the 13th and 14th centuries.

Arina Vlasevna was a genuine Russian noblewoman of the old school; she should have lived some two hundred years earlier, in the days of old Muscovy.. Such women are now becoming much harder to find.God knows whether that's a good thing or a bad thing! #Turgenev25 #FathersAndSons

What's to explain? But as I've already observed in the hospital, a person who gets angry at his own illness is sure to overcome it. #Turgenev25 #FathersAndSons

Oho!" Arkady thought; it was then and only for a moment that the broad expanse of Bazarov's conceit was revealed to him. "Are you and I gods, then? That is, if you're a god, I must be a dolt?" "Yes," repeated Bazarov gloomily, "you're still a fool." #Turgenev25 #FathersAndSons

Why on earth did that idiot Sitnikov turn up here?" At first Bazarov stirred in his bed, then replied, My boy, I can see you're still a fool. Sitnikovs are indispensable to us. Understand this: I need dolts like him. Not God, but man makes pot and pan!#Turgenev25 #FathersAndSons

There're so many memories behind me: life in Petersburg, wealth, then poverty, my father's death, marriage, then a trip abroad, just as it should be-Many memories, but nothing to remember, while ahead of me-a long, longpath, but no goal. I really don't want to go on. #Turgenev25

Bazarov was a great lover of women and feminine beauty, but love in the ideal sense, or, as he expressed it, in the romantic sense, he called rubbish or unforgivable stupidity; he considered chivalrous feelings something akin to deformity or disease #Turgenev25 #FathersAndSons

"Hello?" wondered Arkady. "As if we hadn't seen each other already today? #Turgenev25 #FathersAndSons Russians typically greet each other only once a day.
