enough

I don't really like my paintings. Sometimes I don't like them at all. I pity them, as clumsy and not pretty enough children, but my relatives. And it seems to me that a good, truly finished picture of mine is still somewhere ahead.

Oleksandr Dovzhenko

The people will not want reading material about the war that is descriptive. The people need him from the inside, in his suffering, in his doubts, in his struggle, renewal, and to show him the way and prospects. The people must be glorified, pacified, and brought up in goodness, because so much evil has befallen their lot in one generation that would be enough for ten generations.

— Oleksandr Dovzhenko

We rowed with all our strength under the wise guidance of our father. We were hot from work and happy. Father sat with an oar in the stern – cheerful and strong. He felt like a savior of the drowning, a seafaring hero, Vasco da Gama. And although life sent him a puddle instead of an ocean, his soul was oceanic. And precisely because his soul would be enough for an entire ocean, Vasco da Gama sometimes could not stand this disproportion and sunk his ships in the tavern.

— Oleksandr Dovzhenko

So finally we tumble into the abyss, we ask God why he has made us so feeble. But, in spite of ourselves, He replies through our consciences: ‘I have made you too feeble to climb out of the pit, because i made you strong enough not to fall in.

One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away.

Man is so intelligent that he feels impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic.
