The main thing is to live a living life, and not rummage through the nooks and crannies of memory.

Everything pleasant in this world is either harmful, immoral, or leads to obesity.

If a person is smart and honest, then he is a non-partisan.
If he is smart and a party member, then he is dishonest.
If he is honest and a party member, then he is a fool.

The companion of glory is loneliness.

Alone. Mortal melancholy. I’m 81 years old... I’m sitting in Moscow, it’s summer, I can’t leave my dog. They rented me a house outside the city with a toilet. And at my age there can be only one lover - the home closet.

Ranevskaya dined at a restaurant and was dissatisfied with both the cuisine and the service.
“Call the director,” she said, having paid.
And when he came, she offered him a hug.
- What's happened? - he was embarrassed.
“Hug me,” Faina Georgievna repeated.
- But why?
- Goodbye. You won't see me here anymore.

Animals, which are few in number, are included in the Red Book, and those that are numerous are included in the Book of Tasty and Healthy Food.

There is no inconvenience for an actress if it is necessary for a role.

Lyubov Petrovna Orlova's closet is so filled with outfits that the moth living in it cannot learn to fly!

In my old head there are two, at most three, thoughts, but at times they create such a fuss that it seems like there are thousands of them.

- Like real...

They all have friends just like themselves - they make friends based on shopping, almost live in thrift stores, and go to visit each other. How I envy them, brainless ones!

A young man and a girl are sitting on a bench. The young man is very shy. The girl wants him to kiss her, and she says:

Over time:

Ranevskaya sits nearby and asks:
- Young man, don’t you treat hemorrhoids?!

When I have a nightmare, it means I'm acting in a movie in my dream.

It has always been a mystery to me how great actors could play with artists from whom there was nothing to catch, not even a runny nose. How can I explain it, mediocrity: no one will come to you, because there is nothing to take from you. Is my shallow thought clear?

Ranevskaya was asked if she knew the reasons for the divorce of a couple she knew. Faina Georgievna replied:
- They had different tastes: she loved men, and he loved women.

Faina Georgievna Ranevskaya(née Feldman) went down in the history of culture and cinema as “one of the greatest Russian actresses of the 20th century” and “queen of the supporting plan.” She acted more often in the theater than in films, ironizing about this that “the money will be eaten up, but the shame will remain forever.” She did not have major roles, but she played even small, sometimes episodic roles in such a way that they went down in history forever. And we remember her every time we hear her “housekeeper” Freken Bock from the cartoon about Carlson speaking in a low voice on TV.

After her, a huge number of aphorisms and “strong expressions” remained, most of which became popular - people felt their capacious imagery and fell in love with the absence of her so-called “internal censorship.”

A collection of golden quotes and “strong expressions” from the Russian actress:

Do you know what it's like to act in a movie? Imagine that you are washing in a bathhouse, and they take you on a tour there..

To gain recognition, one must, even must, die.

Women, of course, are smarter. Have you ever heard of a woman who would lose her head just because a man has beautiful legs?

To the question: “Are you sick, Faina Georgievna?” - she usually answered: “No, I just look like that.”

It’s better to be a good person who “swears” than a quiet, well-mannered creature.

Sclerosis cannot be cured, but it can be forgotten.

Why are all women such fools?

What I do? I feign health.

If you expect someone to accept you “as you are,” then you are just a lazy idiot. Because, as a rule, “the way it is” is a sad sight. Change, you bastard. Work on yourself. Or die alone.

Old age is a time when the candles on a birthday cake cost more than the cake itself, and half the urine goes for testing.

If a patient really wants to live, doctors are powerless.

When I don't get a role, I feel like a pianist whose hands were cut off.

Success is the only unforgivable sin towards your loved one.

The companion of glory is loneliness.

The brain, the ass and the pill have a soul mate. And I was initially whole.

A Russian person doesn’t want to do or think anything on an empty stomach, but on a full stomach he can’t..

Everything will come true, you just have to stop wanting it.

All my life I have been terribly afraid of stupid people. Especially women. You never know how to talk to them without sinking to their level.

A child from the first grade of school should be taught the science of loneliness.

My God, how old I am - I still remember decent people!

There are no fat women, there are tight clothes.

There are people in whom God lives, there are people in whom the devil lives, and there are people in whom only worms live.

If a person does evil to you, you give him candy, he does evil to you, you give him candy... And so on until this creature develops diabetes mellitus.

We have been accustomed to single-cell words, scant thoughts, play Ostrovsky after this!

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

The fairy tale is when he married a frog, and she turned out to be a princess. But reality is when it’s the other way around.

- When you arrive, knock your feet.
- Why with your feet?
- Well, you’re not going to go empty-handed!

Optimism is simply a lack of information.

I noticed that if you don’t eat bread, sugar, fatty meat, or drink beer with fish, your face becomes smaller, but sadder.

Once you get married, then you will understand what happiness is. But it will be too late.

Life is too short to waste it on diets, greedy men and bad moods.

Family replaces everything. Therefore, before you get one, you should think about what is more important to you: everything or family.
To help us see how much we are overeating, our stomach is located on the same side as our eyes.

Horseradish, based on the opinions of others, ensures a calm and happy life.

Women are not the weaker sex. The weaker sex are rotten boards.

People create their own problems - no one forces them to choose boring professions, marry the wrong people or buy uncomfortable shoes.

About women

When the Sistine Madonna was brought to Moscow, everyone went to see it. Faina Georgievna overheard a conversation between two officials from the Ministry of Culture. One claimed that the picture did not make an impression on him. Ranevskaya noted:

I'm a social psychopath. Komsomol member with a paddle. You can touch me on the subway.

- “Are you bragging, my dear, or are you complaining?”

An employee of the Radio Committee N. constantly experienced drama because of her love relationship with a colleague, whose name was Sima: either she cried because of another quarrel, then he abandoned her, then she had an abortion from him. Ranevskaya called her “HeraSima’s victim.”

Ranevskaya was once asked: Why are beautiful women more successful than smart women?
- This is obvious, because there are very few blind men, and stupid ones are a dime a dozen.

How many times does a woman blush in her life?
- Four times: on the wedding night, when she cheats on her husband for the first time, when she takes money for the first time, when she gives money for the first time.

you devoured my entire directorial plan with your acting!" "That's what I have
I feel like I’ve eaten enough crap!” Ranevskaya retorted.

— Today I killed 5 flies: two males and three females.
- How did you determine this?
“Two were sitting on a beer bottle, and three were on a mirror,” explained Faina Georgievna.

Some man pushed Ranevskaya walking down the street and cursed her with dirty words. Faina Georgievna told him:
- For a number of reasons, I cannot now answer you in 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.

The actors discuss at a troupe meeting a comrade who is accused of homosexuality:
“This is youth molestation, this is a crime.”

Explaining to someone why the condom is white, Ranevskaya said:
"Because white makes you look fat."

I don’t drink, I don’t smoke anymore, and I never cheated on my husband because I never had one, Ranevskaya said, anticipating the journalist’s possible questions.

In the dressing room, a naked Ranevskaya sat down on an ottoman and lit a cigarette. A male director enters to wish Faina success. Pause. The director was taken aback, to which the actress, after a prolonged silence, said: “I want to apologize for the cigarette smoke and other inconveniences.”

The radio station employee was always preoccupied with her difficult relationship with her lover Sima. He continued to date, but categorically did not make commitments to the girl. They constantly got together and diverged, quarreled over trifles, the girl had abortions, but did not leave Sima. The girl felt sorry for Ranevskaya, affectionately calling her a victim of HeraSima.

Looking at the torn skirt, Ranevskaya said: “Beauty will cut a path for itself. It is impossible to contain the beautiful within the narrow limits of what is permitted!”

Everything will be real. And pearls in the first act, and a capsule with poison in the finale!
