"Behold into the root"
About Me
- Kuzma Prutkov
- Kozma Prutkov (Козьма Петрович Прутков) is a fictional author invented by Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy and three Zhemchuzhnikov brothers - Alexei, Vladimir and Alexander during the later part of Nicholas I reign.
Most famouse quotes:
- "Behold into the root"
- "Throwing pebbles into the water, look at the ripples they form on the surface, otherwise, such occupation becomes an idle pastime."
- "Where is the beginning of the end that comes at the end of the beginning?"
- "If you have a fountain, shut it up. Let even a fountain have a rest."
- "If ever asked: What's more useful, the sun or the moon, respond: The moon. For the sun only shines during daytime, when it's light anyway, whereas the Moon shines at night."
- "One can not embrace unembraceable."
- "Be vigilant!"
- "Wanna be handsome - join hussars."
- "When on an elephant cage you see a sign "bison" - do not trust your eyes."
I will try to come up with observations of my own as well.
