I was polished by so many paws that even the great prostitute Nana could envy me.
I, by virtue of the talent allotted to me, squeaked like a mosquito.

Faina Ranevskaya, (1896-1984) actress

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

God made women beautiful so that men could love them, and stupid so that they could love men.

The family is not without a director.

In old age, the main thing is a sense of dignity.

Memories are the wealth of old age.

It has always been a mystery to me - how great actors could play with artists from whom there is nothing to catch, even a runny nose.

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

If a woman tells a man that he is the smartest, then she understands that she will not find another such fool.

If a woman walks with her head down, she has a lover! If a woman walks with her head held high, she has a lover! If a woman keeps her head straight - she has a lover! And in general - if a woman has a head, then she has a lover!

If a person in the winter in the cold did not pick up a stray dog, this person is rubbish, capable of any meanness. And I'm not wrong.

There are fools who envy fame.

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

A woman to succeed in life must have two qualities. She must be smart enough to please stupid men, and stupid enough to please smart men.

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

Animals, which are few, were listed in the Red Book, and which are many - in the Book of Tasty and Healthy Food.

Life is a short walk before eternal sleep.

You have to live in such a way that even the bastards remember you.

“How much love, but there is no one to go to the pharmacy,” said Faina Ranevskaya about fans who give her armfuls of flowers.

When I die, bury me and write on the monument: "Died of disgust."

Who would know my loneliness? Damn him, this same talent that made me unhappy. But do the audience really love it? What's the matter? Why is it so hard in the theater? There are also gangsters in the movies.

Where is this damn money going, can you tell me? They scatter like cockroaches with monstrous speed.

Lesbianism, homosexuality, masochism, sadism are not perversions. There are, in fact, only two perversions: field hockey and ballet on ice.

Our people are the most gifted, kind and conscientious. But almost somehow it turns out that constantly, by 80 percent, we are surrounded by idiots, scammers and creepy ladies without dogs. Trouble!

We were accustomed to single-celled words, scant thoughts, play Ostrovsky after that!

I don't get along with life! Money interferes with me both when it is not there and when it is.

I hate cynicism for its general availability.

There is no pain more painful than longing.

Nothing makes you understand and feel your loneliness like when there is no one to tell your dream to.

Optimism is a lack of information.

About the director: Perpetum male.

Spelling errors in a letter are like a bug on a white blouse.

About his work in the cinema: "The money is eaten, but the shame remains."

It's very hard to be a genius among goats.

Do you understand my shallow thought?

Damned nineteenth century, damned upbringing: I can't stand when men are sitting.

The strongest feeling is pity.

The most terrible thing is to offend, upset a person, hit a dog, not feed it when it is hungry.

Family replaces everything. Therefore, before you start it, you should think about what is more important to you: everything or family.

A fairy tale is when he married a frog, and she turned out to be a princess. And the reality is when the opposite is true.

Sclerosis cannot be cured, but it can be forgotten.

Making a bad movie is like spitting into eternity.

The union of a stupid man and a stupid woman gives birth to the heroine mother. The union of a stupid woman and a smart man produces a single mother. The union of a smart woman and a stupid man gives rise to an ordinary family. The union of a smart man and a smart woman gives rise to easy flirting.

It became funny. The great ones live like people, but I live as a homeless dog, although there is a dwelling! There is a stray dog, she lives by my care - I live a lonely dog, and not for long, thank God, left. Who would have known how unhappy I was in this damned life, with all my talents. Who would know my loneliness! Success is stupid for me, smart, to rejoice at him.

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

Old age is when it’s not bad dreams that bother you, but bad reality.

Old age is just bullshit. I believe that this is the ignorance of God when he allows you to live to old age.

You have the same defect as me. No, not the nose - modesty!
Faina Ranevskaya to Elena Kamburova

A smart man knows how to get out of a difficult situation, but a wise man never gets into it.

Success is the only unforgivable sin in relation to a loved one.

I am watching this film for the fourth time and I must tell you that today the actors played like never before.

This is not a room. This is a real well. I feel like a bucket that was dropped there.

I, by virtue of the talent allotted to me, squeaked like a mosquito.

I am Stanislavsky's miscarriage.

I spoke long and unconvincingly, as if I were talking about the friendship of peoples.

I lived with many theaters, but never enjoyed it.

“I didn’t know success with myself ... I had the sense to live a stupid life,” Faina Ranevskaya complained just before her death.

I feel myself, but not well.

Having entered her first country theater in Malakhovka, she rehearsed in the play "The One Who Gets a Slap in the Face." Role without words. "What should I do?" Faina asked her partner, actor Pevtsov. "Love me! Love me the whole performance and experience. And she began to love him - four hours non-stop. Nobody remembered Pevtsov at the end of the performance: auditorium went mad from the passionate love of Ranevskaya. She sobbed all the time, and continued to sob even after the end of the performance. Pevtsov asked: “Why are you crying now?” "I continue to love you." He said: "You will be an actress!".

Once Ranevskaya slipped on the street and fell. An unfamiliar man was walking towards her.
- Pick me up! asked Ranevskaya. - People's artists do not lie on the road ...

Ranevskaya with all her family and huge luggage arrives at the station.
“It’s a pity that we didn’t take the piano,” says Faina Georgievna.
“Not witty,” one of the escorts remarks.
“Really stupid,” Ranevskaya sighs. - The fact is that I left all the tickets on the piano.

The older generation always scolds the youth: she, they say, has completely deteriorated, become frivolous, does not respect her elders, without a king in her head, she only thinks about fun ... Hearing such an old man's conversation, Ranevskaya said with a sigh:
- The most terrible thing about youth is that we ourselves no longer belong to it and cannot do all these stupid things ...

Faina Georgievna returned home as pale as death, and said that she was driving from the theater in a taxi.
“I knew right away that he was a jerk. How he maneuvered between cars, dodged trucks, slipped right in front of the noses of passers-by! But I really got scared later. When we arrived, he took out a magnifying glass to look at the counter!

- Nobody kissed me, except the groom! one young actress said proudly to Ranevskaya.
“My dear, I don’t understand,” Faina Georgievna replied, “are you bragging or complaining?”

Once, at the theater, Faina Georgievna was riding in an elevator with artist Gennady Bortnikov, and the elevator got stuck ... We had to wait a long time - only after forty minutes they were released. Ranevskaya said to young Bortnikov as she left:
- Well, Genochka, now you are obliged to marry me! Otherwise you will compromise me!

Faina Ranevskaya - quotes, phrases

... Well, I come across faces, not faces, but a personal insult! I enter the theater like a garbage chute: falseness, cruelty, hypocrisy. Not one honest word, not one honest eye! Careerism, meanness, greedy old women!

Optimism is a lack of information.

… They all have friends the same as themselves - they make friends on the basis of purchases, almost live in commission shops, go to visit each other. How I envy them, brainless!

What is the world? How many idiots around, how fun they are!

I was at the theater yesterday. The actors played so badly, especially Desdemona, that when Othello strangled her, the audience applauded for a very long time.

Ranevskaya invites guests and warns that the call is not working:
- When you come, knock with your feet.
- Why with your feet, Faina Georgievna?
But you're not going to come empty-handed!

It’s scary when you’re eighteen inside, when you admire beautiful music, poetry, painting, and it’s time for you, you haven’t done anything, but you just start living!

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

I understand your complaints about the hysterical weather - I myself am a victim of the menopause of our planet. Here in May it snowed, then it was hot, then it was cold, then it all happened during the day.

After recovering from a heart attack, Ranevskaya concluded:
- If the patient really wants to live, doctors are powerless.

It's very hard to be a genius among goats.

Thoughts are drawn to the beginning of life - it means that life is coming to an end.

I was smart enough to live my life stupidly. I live only by myself - what self-restraint

If you have a person to whom you can tell dreams, you have no right to consider yourself lonely ...

A neighbor, the widow of the Moscow Soviet chief, changed Romanian furniture for Yugoslav, Yugoslav for Finnish, was nervous. Supervised loaders ... And died at 50 years old on furniture set. Girl!

Once Zavadsky shouted to Ranevskaya from the audience: “Faina, you gobbled up my whole idea with your antics!” “I have a feeling, as if I had eaten shit,” Faina muttered quite loudly. "Get out of the theater!" shouted the master. Ranevskaya, approaching the proscenium, answered him: “Get out of art !!”

We were accustomed to single-celled words, scant thoughts, play Ostrovsky after that!

What will I see you wearing next?
“In the coffin,” suggested Ranevskaya.

Homosexuality, transsexuality and so on are not perversions,
There are only two real perversions: field hockey and ice dancing.

A well-known actress hysterically shouted at a meeting of the troupe:
“I know you are only waiting for my death to come and spit on my grave!”
Ranevskaya remarked in a thick voice:
I can't stand standing in line!

Family replaces everything. Therefore, before you start it, you should think about what is more important to you: everything or family.

Ranevskaya was asked: what is the most difficult for her?
“Oh, I do my hardest before breakfast,” she said.
- And what is it?
- I get out of bed.

A person's passport is his misfortune, because a person must always
be eighteen, and the passport only reminds you that you can live like an eighteen year old.

How many times does a woman blush in her life?
- Four times: on the wedding night, when the first time she cheats on her husband, when she takes money for the first time, when she gives money for the first time.
— And the man?
- Twice: the first time - when the second cannot, the second - when the first cannot.

If a woman walks with her head down, she has a lover. If a woman walks with her head held high, she has a lover. If a woman keeps her head straight, she has a lover. And in general, if a woman has a head, then she has a lover!

- What is baldness?
“It's a slow but progressive transformation of a head into an ass. First in form, then in content.

The boy said: “I am angry with Pushkin, the nanny told him fairy tales, and he wrote them down and passed them off as his own.”
"Charm" - Ranevskaya conveyed what she heard. After a deep sigh, the following followed:
“But I'm afraid the boy is still a complete idiot.

Old age is when it’s not bad dreams that bother you, but bad reality.

Am I that old already? After all, I still remember decent people.

These “good mornings” must be fought like bedbugs, dust is needed here. The touching girl and the authors should be beaten on the skull with a heavy iron, but this is an unacceptable method, to my great chagrin. All these radio ladies who laugh with happy children's laughter give rise to millions of idiots, and this is already a national disaster. In general, all the creators of the "Merry Companions" - on trial! "WITH Good morning- there, "Saturday Night" - with a knee in the ass! " Good mood"- to logging, where they would have met (would!") With the leadership of the Mossovet Theater and its leader - the insanity entertainer Zavadsky.

Loneliness is when there is a telephone in the house, and the alarm clock rings.

“Which do you think women tend to be more faithful: brunettes or blondes?”
Without hesitation, she answered: “Gray-haired!”

I haven't read anything for a long time. I re-read everything Pushkin, Pushkin, Pushkin. I even dreamed that he entered and said: “How tired of you, you old fool! »

Ranevskaya stood completely naked in her make-up room. And smoked. Suddenly, the managing director of the Mossovet Theater Valentin Shkolnikov entered without knocking. And froze in shock. Faina Georgievna calmly asked: “Does it shock you that I smoke?”

Making a bad movie is like spitting into eternity!

Today I killed 5 flies: two males and three females.
- How did you define it?
“Two sat on a beer bottle, and three on a mirror,” Faina Georgievna explained.

A friend tells Ranevskaya:
- Yesterday I was visiting N. And I sang for them for two hours ...
Faina Georgievna interrupts her with an exclamation:

“Because there are far fewer blind men than there are smart ones.

Ranevskaya was asked: “Why are beautiful women more successful than smart ones?” To which Ranevskaya replied: “It’s obvious - after all, there are very few blind men, and there are a dime a dozen stupid ones.”

Do you know, honey, what is shit? So it is in comparison with my life - jam.

Everyone is free to dispose of his ass, as he wants. So I pick mine up and fuck it

My favorite disease is scabies: I scratched myself and still want to. And the most hated is hemorrhoids: neither to see for yourself, nor to show people.

Oh, those insufferable journalists! Half of the lies they spread about me are not true.

“Madame, could you exchange a hundred dollars for me?”
— Alas! But thanks for the compliment!

How I envy the brainless!

Loneliness is a state of which there is no one to tell.

The money is eaten, but the shame remains.

God made women beautiful so that men could love them, and stupid so that they could love men.

Why are all women so stupid?

Beautiful people shit too.

The union of a stupid man and a stupid woman gives birth to the heroine mother. The union of a stupid woman and a smart man creates a single mother. The union of a smart woman and a stupid man gives rise to an ordinary family. The union of a smart man and a smart woman gives rise to easy flirting.

Health is when you have pain in a different place every day.

I wish I had her legs—she had lovely legs! Too bad they're gone now.

- I don't drink, I don't smoke anymore and I never cheated on my husband - because I never had one.
“So what do you mean, you don’t have any flaws at all?”
- In general, no. True, I have a big ass and sometimes I lie a little ...

It is known that Ranevskaya allowed herself strong expressions, and when she was remarked that there is no word “ass” in the literary Russian language, she replied - strange, there is no word, but there is an ass ...

A fairy tale is when you marry a monster, and he turns out to be a prince, and a true story is when the opposite is true.

A real man is a man who remembers a woman's birthday exactly and never knows how old she is. A man who does not remember a woman's birthday, but knows exactly how old she is, is her husband.

The first season in the Crimea, I play in Sumbatov's play the Pretty Woman seducing a handsome young man. The action takes place in the mountains of the Caucasus. I stand on the mountain and say in a disgustingly tender voice: “My steps are lighter than fluff, I can glide like a snake ...” After these words, I managed to knock down the scenery depicting a mountain and hurt my partner painfully. There is laughter in the audience, my partner, moaning, threatens to tear my head off.

— I love nature.

I don't get along with life! Money interferes with me both when it is not there and when it is.

It has always been incomprehensible to me - people are ashamed of poverty and not ashamed of wealth.

I feel myself, but not well.

My God, an unfortunate country where a man cannot dispose of his ass.

There are people in whom God lives; There are people in whom the devil lives; And there are people that live only worms.

“The pearls that I will wear in the first act must be real,” the capricious young actress demands.
“Everything will be real,” Ranevskaya reassures her. — Everything: pearls in the first act, and poison in the last.

Success is the only unforgivable sin in relation to your loved one.

Do you know what it's like to act in films? Imagine that you are washing in a bathhouse, and a tour is being led there.

If I, yielding to requests, began to write about myself, it would be a mournful book - “Fate is a whore”

He will die from the expansion of fantasy.

I hate it when the f*ck pretends to be innocent!

Do not have a hundred rubles, but have two breasts!

Faina Ranevskaya was at the wedding of friends. When a dove pooped on the groom's shoulder, she said:
- Here are the newlyweds, the dove is a symbol of the fact that your freedom has flown away and spoiled goodbye.

There are a million fans, but there is no one to go to the pharmacy.

Old age is just bullshit. I believe that this is the ignorance of God when he allows you to live to old age. Lord, everyone is already gone, but I still live. Birman - and she died, and I did not expect this from her. It’s scary when you’re eighteen inside, when you admire beautiful music, poetry, painting, and it’s time for you, you haven’t done anything, but you’re just starting to live!

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.

I hate cynicism for its general availability.

My God, how life slipped by, I never even heard the nightingales sing.

Who would know my loneliness? Damn him, this same talent that made me

The soul is not an ass, it cannot shit.

The following entry remained in the Ranevskaya archive:
“They pester, ask to write, write about themselves. I refuse. I don't want to write about myself badly. Okay - indecent. So, we must be silent. Besides, I again began to make mistakes, and this is shameful. It's like a bug on the shirtfront. I know the most important thing, I know what to give, not to take. So I live with this return. Memories are the wealth of old age.”

Today's youth is terrible. But what's even worse is that we don't belong to it.

On an empty stomach, a Russian person does not want to do anything and think, but on a full stomach, he cannot.

Pioneers, go to hell.

This lady can already choose for herself whom she impresses.

Spelling errors in a letter are like a bug on a white blouse.

My life is terribly sad ... and you want me to stick a lilac bush in my ass and do a striptease in front of you!

If a person has done evil to you - you give him candy, he gives you evil - you give him candy ... And so on until this creature develops diabetes.

If I often looked into the eyes of Gioconda, I would go crazy: she knows everything about me, and I know nothing about her.

That blind man to whom you gave the coin is not pretending, he really does not see.
- Why did you decide so?
- He told you: “Thank you, beauty! »

— How is life, Faina Georgievna?
- I told you last year that shit. But then it was marzipan.

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

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

An employee of the Radio Committee N. constantly experienced drama because of her love relationship with a colleague, whose name was Sima: then she sobbed because of another quarrel, then he left her, then she had an abortion from him. Ranevskaya called her "the victim of HeraSima".

Looking at the hole in her skirt: “Nothing can hold back the pressure of beauty!”

- And where would you like to go, Faina Georgievna - to heaven or hell?
- Of course, heaven is preferable because of the climate, but I would be happier in hell - because of the company.

Do you understand my shallow thought?

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

Perpetum male. (About director Z.)

Honey, if you want to lose weight, eat naked and in front of a mirror.

They haven't told me for a long time that I'm fucking. Losing popularity.

Faina Georgievna returned home pale as death, and said that she was driving from the theater in a taxi.
“I knew right away that he was a jerk. How he maneuvered between cars, dodged trucks, slipped right in front of the noses of passers-by! But then I got really scared. When we arrived, he took out a magnifying glass to look at the counter!

Men from the beginning of days to their end are drawn for a boob.

There are people who just want to approach and ask if it is difficult to live without brains.

Many complain about their appearance, and no one complains about their brains.

Teach me to smoke nervously and aristocratically, squinting and breaking the curves of my fingers on leather armchairs and sofas, to confuse silk curtains with smoke, and perhaps I will be able to beautifully confess my love to you, in verse and crazy beautiful words, no spelling errors. In the meantime, excuse me... but I want to fuck you right here on the floor.

Artist "Mossovet" Nikolai Afonin lived next to Ranevskaya. He had a hunchbacked "Zaporozhets", and sometimes Afonin drove Faina Georgievna home from the theater. Once, three people squeezed into his Zaporozhets from behind, and in front, next to Afonin, the village of Ranevskaya. As she drove up to her house, she asked:
— K-Kolechka, how much is your car?
Afonin said:
— Two thousand two hundred rubles, Faina Georgievna.
“What *** on the part of the government,” Ranevskaya concluded gloomily, getting out of the humpbacked apparatus.

“Fufa, why do you always go to the window when I start singing?”
"I don't want the neighbors to think I'm hitting you!"

I cannot eat meat. It walked, loved, looked ... Maybe I'm a psychopath? No, I consider myself a normal psychopath. But I can't eat meat. I keep meat for people.

— Nothing but despair from the inability to change anything in my destiny.

You know, - Ranevskaya recalled half a century later, - when I saw this bald man on an armored car, I realized that we were in big trouble.

- Nonna, is the artist N. dead?
- Died.
“That’s what I see, he lies in a coffin ...

Ranevskaya forgot the name of the actress with whom she was supposed to play on stage:
- Well, this one, like her ... So broad-shouldered in the ass ...

Close friends who visited her, Ranevskaya sometimes offered to look at the picture she painted. And showed a clean sheet.
- And what is shown here? the audience is interested.
- Don't you see? This is the passage of the Jews through the Red Sea.
- And where is the sea?
- It's already behind.
- Where are the Jews?
They have already crossed the sea.
Where are the Egyptians then?
- They'll be here soon! Wait!

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

All my life I've been terribly afraid of stupid people. Especially grandma. You never know how to talk to them without falling to their level.

Women die later than men because they are always late.

“I am very sorry, Faina Georgievna, that you were not at the premiere of my new play,” Ranevskoy Viktor Rozov boasted. — The people at the checkout staged a uniform massacre!
- And How? Did they get their money back?

A man walks into a Taganka store and asks:
I would like gloves...
- What do you want? Leather, suede, wool?
- I'm leather.
Are you light or dark?
— Black.
- Under a coat or under a raincoat?
- Under the cloak.
- Okay ... Please bring us your raincoat, and we will pick up gloves desired color and style.
Ranevskaya stands nearby and listens to all this. Then he leans towards the man and in a theatrical whisper, so that he hears the whole shopping room, He speaks:
"Don't believe me, young man! I already dragged them the toilet bowl, and showed my ass, and toilet paper still no!

I am a miscarriage of Stanislavsky!

Companion of glory - loneliness.

Once Ranevskaya was stopped in the Actor's House by a poet who holds a leading position in the Writers' Union.
— Hello, Faina Georgievna! How are you doing?
“Very good of you to ask. At least someone is interested in how I live! Let's step aside and I'll tell you everything with pleasure.
No, no, sorry, but I'm in a hurry. You know, I still have to go to the meeting ...
“But you wonder how I live!” Why do you immediately run away, you listen. Moreover, I will not detain you for a long time, forty minutes, no more.
The leading poet began to flee.
Why then ask how I live?! Ranevskaya called after him.

Cinema is a barefoot establishment.

No one, except for the dead leaders, wants to endure my idly dangling breasts.

- When you get married, Alyoshenka, then you will understand what happiness is.
- Yes?
- Yes. But it will be too late.

- What is it with you, Faina Georgievna, your eyes are inflamed?
- Yesterday I went to the premiere, and an unusually large woman sat in front of me. I had to watch the whole performance through the hole from the earring in her ear.

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

Ranevskaya told one lady that she was still young and looks great.
"I can't give you the same compliment," she replied defiantly.
“And you, like me, would lie!” Faina Georgievna advised.

85 years with diabetes is not sugar.

I'm tired of pretending to be healthy.

I get letters: "Help me become an actor." I answer: "God will help!" What is the difference between smart and wise? - asked Ranevskaya.
“The smart one knows how to get out of a difficult situation, but the wise one never gets into it.

Ranevskaya once dined with a lady who was so economical that Faina Georgievna got up from the table completely hungry. The hostess kindly told her:
"Please come and have dinner with me sometime."
- With pleasure, - Ranevskaya answered, - even now!

For how many years, boys on the street shouted to me: “Mulya, don’t make me nervous!” Well-dressed, perfumed ladies held out a pen with a boat and neatly folded lips, instead of introducing themselves, they whispered: “Mulya, don’t make me nervous!” The statesmen went forward and, showing love and respect for art, said kindly: “Mulya, don’t make me nervous!” I am not Mule. I'm an old actress and I don't want to annoy anyone. It's hard for me to see people.

— How can a person with whom misfortune befall be comforted?
— Smart man consoled when he realizes the inevitability of what happened. The fool takes comfort in the fact that the same will happen to others.

Who was your mother before marriage? - the stubborn interviewer asked Ranevskaya.
“I didn’t have a mother before her marriage,” Faina Georgievna stopped further questions.

I can't express strong feelings, although I can express myself strongly.

In old age, the main thing is a sense of dignity, and I was deprived of it.

A woman to succeed in life must have two qualities. She must be smart enough to please stupid men, and stupid enough to please smart men.

I am amused by the excitement of people over trifles, I myself was the same fool.
Now, before the finish, I understand clearly that everything is empty.
All you need is kindness and compassion.

In the hospital, seeing that Ranevskaya was reading Cicero, the doctor remarked:
You don't often see a woman reading Cicero.
“And you don’t often meet a man reading Cicero,” Faina Georgievna retorted.

- Serve the lady's mouth!

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

— Faina Georgievna, have you fallen ill again? What is your temperature?
- Normal, room temperature, plus eighteen degrees

If a woman tells a man that he is the smartest, then she understands that she will not find another such fool.

You can not understand in any way whether you like a young man? Spend an evening with him. When you get home, take off your clothes. Throw your underpants up to the ceiling. stuck? So you like it.

The older generation always scolds the youth:
- she, they say, has completely deteriorated, has become frivolous, does not respect her elders, without a king in her head, she only thinks about fun ...
Hearing such an old man's conversation, Ranevskaya said with a sigh:
- The most terrible thing about youth is that we ourselves no longer belong to it and cannot do all these stupid things ...

A boy and a girl are sitting on a bench. The young man is very shy. The girl wants him to kiss her, and she says:
— Oh, my cheek hurts.
The young man kisses her on the cheek.
- Well, how does it hurt now?
- No, it doesn't hurt.
Over time:
- Oh, my neck hurts.
He kissed her on the neck:
- Well, does it hurt?
- No, it doesn't hurt.
Ranevskaya sits nearby and asks:
“Young man, don’t you treat hemorrhoids?!

Once Ranevskaya slipped on the street and fell. An unfamiliar man was walking towards her.
- Pick me up! asked Ranevskaya. - People's artists on the road do not roll ...

Look, Faina Georgievna! There is a fly floating in your beer!
“Just one, honey. How much can she drink?

To stay thin, a woman needs to eat in front of a mirror and naked...

Loneliness is a condition that cannot be cured.

Everything will come true, you just have to lose your will...

There are no fat women, there are small clothes.

People are like candles: they either burn or fuck them.

Getting old is boring, but it's the only way to live forever.

A fan asks for Ranevskaya's home phone number. She is:

"Honey, how do I know him?" I never call myself!

I, like eggs, participate, but do not enter.

“I was at the theater yesterday,” Ranevskaya said. - The actors played so badly, especially Desdemona, that when Othello strangled her, the audience applauded for a very long time.

I, by virtue of the talent allotted to me, squeaked like a mosquito.

I hate you. Wherever I go, everyone looks around and says: “Look, this is Mulya, don’t make me nervous, she’s coming” (From a conversation with Agnia Barto)

- Yesterday I was visiting N. And I sang for them for two hours ...
- That's what they need! I can't stand them either!

I spoke long and unconvincingly, as if I were talking about the friendship of peoples.

I lived with many theaters, but never enjoyed it.

I'm like an old palm tree at the station - no one needs it, but it's a pity to throw it away.

I do not recognize the word "play". You can play cards, horse races, checkers. You have to live on the stage.

- I don't drink, I don't smoke anymore and I never cheated on my husband - because I never had one. - So, then, you don't have any flaws at all? True, I have a big ass and sometimes I lie a little ...

— I love nature.
"And after what she did to you?"

I am a local actress. Wherever I served! Only in the city of Vezdesransk did not serve! ..

I now understand why condoms are white! They say white makes you fat...

This lady can already choose for herself whom she impresses. (To the expressed opinion "The Sistine Madonna does not impress me.")

This is not a theater, but a country toilet. I go to the current theater the way I went to have an abortion in my youth, and to pull my teeth in my old age. After all, you know, as if Stanislavsky was not born. They wonder why I play differently every time.

What I'm doing? I pretend to be healthy.

I am watching this film for the fourth time and I must tell you that today the actors played like never before.

So that we can see how much we overeat, our stomach is located on the same side as the eyes.

I was smart enough to live my life stupidly.

She doesn't have a face, she has a hoof.

This actress's ass hangs and dangles like a hussar's bag.

Having learned that her acquaintances were going to the theater today to see her on stage, Ranevskaya tried to dissuade them: “You shouldn’t go: the play is boring and the production is weak ... But since you are going anyway, I advise you to leave after the second act. - Why after the second? - After the first one, there is a very big crush in the wardrobe.

Success is the only unforgivable sin in relation to your loved one.

Such an ass is called “ass-playing” (about a passing lady), “And with such an ass you need to stay at home!” (about another).

Talent is like a wart - you either have it or you don't.

Talent is self-doubt and a painful dissatisfaction with yourself and your shortcomings, which I have never seen in mediocrity.

Tolstoy said that there is no death, but there is love and memory of the heart. The memory of the heart is so painful, it would be better if it did not exist ... It would be better to kill the memory forever.

That blind man to whom you gave the coin is not pretending, he really does not see. - Why did you decide so? - He told you: "Thank you, beauty!"

... I'm sick of the theater. Country toilet. It's a shame to end your life in the toilet.

Now, when a person is embarrassed to say that he does not want to die, he says this: he really wants to survive in order to see what happens next. As if if it were not for this, he would immediately be ready to lie down in the coffin.

Family replaces everything. Therefore, before starting it, you should think about what is more important to you: everything or family.

A fairy tale is when he married a frog, and she turned out to be a princess. And the reality is when the opposite is true.

Sclerosis cannot be cured, but it can be forgotten.

It's hard to be a genius among goats.

Making a bad movie is like spitting into eternity.

The union of a stupid man and a stupid woman gives birth to the heroine mother. The union of a stupid woman and a smart man creates a single mother.

The union of a smart woman and a stupid man gives rise to an ordinary family. The union of a smart man and a smart woman gives rise to easy flirting.

Companion of glory - loneliness.

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

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

Old age is when it’s not bad dreams that bother you, but bad reality.

My life is terribly sad. And you want me to stick a lilac bush in my ass and do a striptease in front of you.

It’s scary when you’re eighteen inside, when you admire beautiful music, poetry, painting, and it’s time for you, you haven’t done anything, but you’re just starting to live! (late 70s)

A person's passport is his misfortune, because a person must always be eighteen, and a passport only reminds you that you can live like an eighteen year old.
About director Z.: "Perpetum male".
(When a crowd of children surrounded her with joyful exclamations: "Mulya! Mulya!") Pioneers, go to hell.
(When the Timurov pioneers came to her home to help her like an elderly person) Pioneers, join hands and go to hell!

Pipi in the tram - everything he did in art!

Eating alone is as unnatural as shitting together!

I get letters: "Help me become an actor." I answer: "God will help!"

After the performance, Ranevskaya often looked at flowers, a basket with letters, postcards and notes full of admiration - offerings from fans of her game - and sadly remarked: - How much love, but there is no one to go to the pharmacy.

Why do women devote so much time and money to their appearance and not the development of intelligence?

“Because there are far fewer blind men than there are smart ones.

Why are all women so stupid?

Damned nineteenth century, damned upbringing: I can't stand when men are sitting.

Birds swear like actresses because of roles. I saw how the sparrow clearly spoke taunts to another, tiny and weak, and as a result poked him in the head with his beak. Everything, like people.

Let it be a little gossip that should disappear between us.

Everyone is free to dispose of his ass as he wants. So I pick mine up and fuck off. (At a party meeting in the Moscow City Council theater, which discussed the non-Marxist behavior of a famous actor accused of homosexuality.)

Faina has always been self-critical, she owns the famous statement: “Talent is self-doubt and painful dissatisfaction with yourself and your shortcomings, which I have never seen in mediocrity.” Artistic councils and commissions, in the presence of which one had to play, at that time were commonplace, when instead of an audience loving the artist, "arbiters of fate" looked at him. Often, after such performances, the artist was “in a clamp,” but not Ranevskaya at all: “I play badly, the committee on the Stalin Prizes is watching. The disgusting feeling of an exam."

Ranevskaya was very afraid that she might be offered to cooperate with the KGB - at that time it was common. One of her acquaintances advised, if such an offer was received, to say that she screamed in her sleep. Then she will not be suitable for cooperation and the offer will be withdrawn. Once, when Faina Georgievna worked at the Mossovet Theater, the party organizer of the theater approached her with a proposal to join the party. “Oh, what are you, my dear! I can't: I scream in my sleep!" exclaimed Ranevskaya. Whether she was cunning or really mixed up these departments, one can only guess.

Ranevskaya experienced the tragic death of Solomon Mikhoels, they were connected by sincere friendship. In her memoirs, the actress describes one dialogue in which, with humor inherent only to her, she told Mikhoels: “There are people in whom God lives, there are people in whom the devil lives, and there are people in whom only worms live. God lives in you! To which the director replied: “If God lives in me, then He has been exiled into me.” (January 14, 1948).

— How is your life, Faina Georgievna?

- I told you last year that shit. But then it was marzipan.

How I envy the brainless!

Cinema is a barefoot establishment.

When they don't give me a role, I feel like a pianist whose hands have been cut off.

When a jumper has pain in her legs, she jumps while sitting.

When I die, bury me and write on the monument: "Died of disgust."

Beautiful people shit too.

Criticesses are Amazons in menopause.

Who would know my loneliness? Damn him, this same talent that made me unhappy...

When Faina Georgievna was asked which, in her opinion, women are more prone to fidelity - brunettes or blondes, she answered without hesitation: "Gray-haired!"

The pearls that I will wear in the first act must be real, the capricious young actress demands. “Everything will be real,” Ranevskaya reassures her. - Everything: pearls in the first act, and poison in the last.

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

My life ... I lived around, everything did not work out. Like a redhead by the carpet.

Life passes and does not bow like an angry neighbor.

Life is a long jump from the cunt to the grave.

Life is a short walk before eternal sleep.

You have to live in such a way that even the bastards remember you.

Does it bother you that I smoke? - When the theater administrator saw her in the dressing room completely naked.

There are two, maybe three thoughts in my old head, but at times they raise such a fuss that it seems there are thousands of them.

In Moscow, you can go out into the street dressed as God wills, and no one will pay attention. In Odessa, my chintz dresses cause general bewilderment - this is discussed in hairdressing salons, dental outpatient clinics, trams, and private homes. Everyone is upset by my monstrous "stinginess"

because no one believes in poverty. (1949)

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. - in response to passing young man who pushed Ranevskaya on the street and cursed

In the theater, the talented loved me, the mediocre hated me, the mongrels bit me and tore me to pieces.

Have you ever been told that you look like Brigitte Bardot?
- No never.
And rightly so, they didn't.

Faina Ranevskaya - wallpapers for status.

Memories are the treasures of old age.

All my life I've been swimming in the toilet with a butterfly stroke.

The second half is in the brain, assholes and pills. And I am whole.

You are still young and look great.
“I can’t give you the same compliment!
“And you, like me, would lie!”

Faina Georgievna (Grigoryevna) Ranevskaya (born Faina Girshevna Feldman; August 15 (27), 1896, Taganrog - July 19, 1984, Moscow) - Soviet theater and film actress, People's Artist of the USSR (1961), three times winner of the Stalin Prize (1949, 1951, 1951).

- one of the most talented actresses and extraordinary personalities of the twentieth century. Ranevskaya not only captivated the audience with an amazing game, living each of her roles, but also became famous for her wit. Quotes and sayings of the great Ranevskaya, as well as the memory of the legendary artist, will live forever.

We decided to recall the most famous and best aphorisms of Faina Georgievna on the topic of the day.

Many statements by Faina Ranevskaya relate to love and relationships between a man and a woman in general. The actress devoted her whole life to the theater, never getting married. The legend of Soviet cinema did not have children either.

Faina Ranevskaya's quotes and aphorisms very clearly reflect self-sufficiency and, at the same time, a deep inner feeling of loneliness that haunted her until the end of her days.

In her youth, the actress was in love with an actor with whom she happened to play in the same troupe. One day the actor decided to visit her in the evening. Faina Georgievna told how she was waiting for this moment, choosing an outfit, setting the table to impress her lover.

As a result, the man burst into the apartment drunk and with another woman. From that moment on, the actress hated all men and gave all the love she was capable of to the game.

Faina Ranevskaya's quotes are literally permeated with this attitude. She often repeated that “the brain has a soul mate, well ... and pills,” and she herself, “initially whole,” urged other women not to be dependent on relationships and to know their own worth.

Or this aphorism:

Remembering the sayings of Faina Ranevskaya, you immediately understand that this amazing woman was madly in love with Life itself, with all its unpredictable turns, disappointments and joys.
