'There is an amazement when a picture begins to smell fragrant. Because genuine art is an expression of the inexpressible without which life is not complete. Striving for fullness and expression is striving for the fullness of truth."
- from Aviator by Eugene Vodolazkin
"The very word mesmerized me -Aviator. Its sound united within itself the beauty of flight and the roar of a moron - freedom and might. An aviator is a large, beautiful bird. I wanted to be a bird like that too." - Platonov, Aviator
