Through laughter and tears

And also, my dear, remember: bad people I don't trust myself...

And you know, I don't like flowers. Trees are thinkers, and flowers are cocottes.

* * *

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

* * *

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.

* * *

I'm afraid to play - it's scary. And I've been playing for sixty years. And I'm afraid, I'm afraid...

* * *

I saw infamy: "Uncle Vanya" - a film. Everything seems to be inside out. It's useless. Insolently, vilely, they made Chekhov the most boring bore, they play vilely.

* * *

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

* * *

During the rehearsal, Zavadsky was offended by the actors for something, could not restrain himself, shouted and ran out of the rehearsal room, slamming the door, shouting: “I’ll go and hang myself!” Everyone was crushed. Ranevskaya's calm voice rang out in the silence: “Yuri Alexandrovich will be right back. At this time, he goes to the toilet.

* * *

Everyone who loved me didn't like me. And whom I loved - they did not love me.

* * *

The theater has an unprecedented power mess, it’s even a shame to appear in it in old age. I don’t go to the city, but I lie more and think about what shameful things I can do. I meet with my colleagues out of necessity to “create” with them, they are all disgusting to me with their cynicism, which I hate for its general availability ...

* * *

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

* * *

Memories are the wealth of old age.

* * *

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

* * *

You have no idea how tiresome my acting popularity is. For example, by the New Year there are up to a thousand greetings - I sit like a convict, I write kind answers ... Old, in order to rejoice in all vain ...

* * *

The family is not without a director.

* * *

"Stupidity is a kind of madness" - this is my usual thought in a bad translation. My God, how many “madmen” are around!

Delyags, adventurers and all sorts of petty crooks of the pen! They trade the soul like buttons.

* * *

It has always been a mystery to me how great actors could play with an actor who has nothing to take, nothing to catch, even a runny nose! How to explain mediocrity: no one will come to you, because there is nothing to take from you. I'm leaving you because you have nothing to take. In general, I do not recognize the word "play". Let the children play. Let the musicians play. An actor must live.

* * *

“He did not know my soul, because he loved it.” (Tolstoy.)

* * *

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

* * *

* * *

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!

* * *

To love a friend is not to spare oneself.

* * *

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...

“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.

* * *

A woman in the theater washes the toilet. I ask her to work for me, to clean the apartment. Answers: "I can't, I love art."

* * *

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?

* * *

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

* * *

Life is a short walk before eternal sleep.

* * *

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

* * *

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

* * *

Either I'm getting old and stupid, or today's youth is not like anything, ”Ranevskaya once said bitterly. “Before, I just knew how to answer their questions, but now I don’t even understand what they are asking about.

* * *

Zavadsky is given awards not according to his abilities, but according to his needs. It is strange that he does not have the title of "Mother Heroine".

* * *

Sometimes something not stupid comes to mind, but I immediately forget this not stupid. Clever has not visited my brains for a long time.

* * *

You know, when I saw this bald man on an armored car, I realized that we were in big trouble. (About Lenin.)

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

* * *

Once, when Ranevskaya was still living in the same apartment with the Woolfs, and little Alyosha was capricious at night and did not fall asleep, Pavel Leontyevna suggested:

“Maybe I can sing something to him?”

“Well, why do it all at once,” Ranevskaya objected. “Let’s try again in a good way.”

* * *

How wrong is the notion that there are no irreplaceable actors.

* * *

You know, there are such winged words: "Talent is self-confidence." And in my opinion, talent is self-doubt and painful dissatisfaction with yourself, with your shortcomings, which, by the way, I have never met with mediocrity. They always say this about themselves: “Today I played amazingly like never before!”, “Do you know how modest I am? All Europe knows how modest I am!”

* * *

For the performance of works on the stage and in the theater, writers and composers receive royalties from the box office.

Ranevskaya once said about this:

- And the playwrights have settled down quite well - they receive royalties from each performance of their plays! Nobody else gets anything like this. Take, for example, the architect Rerberg. According to his project, the building of the Central Telegraph on Tverskaya was built in Moscow. Even a board hangs with an inscription that this building was erected according to the project of Ivan Ivanovich Rerberg. However, he is not paid deductions for the telegrams that are served in his house!

* * *

How cruelly the "creator" punished me - he gave me a feeling of compassion. Now I read in the newspaper that after the recent earthquake in Italy, after the loss of thousands of lives, there was a new tragedy - a snow storm. The height of the snow is up to six meters, mountains of snow fell on the houses (obviously, where the poor live) and buried everything under them. I called N.I. and told her about the tragedy in Southern Italy and my despair. She responded by talking about the success of her book!

... How lonely I am in this scary world troubles and heartlessness.

If at least one person, one animal, suffered on the whole planet, then I would be unhappy, as I am now.

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

* * *

How humiliating my life is.

* * *

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

* * *

Criticesses are Amazons in menopause.

* * *

Someone remarked, "No one wants to listen, everyone wants to talk." Is it worth talking?

* * *

When I wake up in the morning and feel that nothing hurts me - I think that I have already died!

* * *

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? In the movies, too, Gangsters.

* * *

When Ranevskaya was asked why she did not go to Zavadsky's talks about the profession of an actor, Faina Georgievna answered:

“I don't like Mass in a mess.

* * *

Someone said, I think Stendhal: "If a person has a heart, he does not want his life to be conspicuous." And that sealed the fate of the book. When she strewed the floor of my room, sheets of paper lay reverse side, i.e., white, and it looked like they were dead birds. "Memories" - involuntary gossip.

* * *

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.

* * *

I love music - Bach, Gluck, Handel, Beethoven, Mozart. I love Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Khachaturian - as he guessed Lermontov in Masquerade.

* * *

Who, besides my Pavel Leontievna, wanted me well in the theater? Who suffered when I was without work? Nobody needed me. Okhlopkov, Zavadsky, Alexander Dmitrievich Popov were indulgent, Zavadsky hated. I ran from theater to theater, looking for, but not finding. And it's all. Personal life also did not take place. ... In the theater Zavadsky rotting alive.

* * *

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.

* * *

Painful tenderness for animals, pity for them, I suffer at night, for people this is no longer there. Old women, old men, it’s only a pity, nobody needs them.

* * *

I came across people who did not love Chekhov, but they were people who did not love anyone but themselves.

* * *

My life: loneliness, loneliness, loneliness until the end of days.

* * *

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

* * *

…I guess I'm a pure Christian. I forgive not only enemies, but also my friends.

* * *

Nothing can hold back the pressure of beauty! (Looking at the hole in her skirt.)

* * *

You can't learn to be an artist. You can develop your talent, learn to speak, express yourself, but to shock - no. To do this, one must be born with the nature of an actor.

* * *

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

* * *

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, scanty thoughts - play after that Ostrovsky!

* * *

Recently I read in the newspaper: "The great actress Ranevskaya." 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.

* * *

Bad manners in maturity speaks of the absence of a heart.

* * *

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

* * *

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.

* * *

- Nonna, is the artist N. dead?

“That’s what I see, he lies in a coffin ...

* * *

Everything hurts at night, and most of all - conscience.

* * *

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.

* * *

- Well, Faina Georgievna, why didn’t you like the ending of my last play?

- It is too far from the beginning.

* * *

Loneliness is a condition that cannot be cured.

* * *

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

* * *

One day a young man called her, saying that he was working on a diploma on Pushkin. On this topic, Ranevskaya was always ready to talk. He began to come almost every day. He came with an empty briefcase, and left with a heavy one - he took out half of the library. She knew about it. "And you didn't react at all?" - "Why? I avenged him terribly!” - "How?" - "When he Once again came to me, I said with my voice into the intercom: “Ranevskaya is not at home.”

* * *

(About the time when they began to issue passports.) “You could name any date - no one demanded metrics. Lyubochka (L. Orlova) knocked off ten years for herself, but I, an idiot, only a year or two - I don’t remember. I thought that I spent so much in the resorts, and the resorts, as you know, do not count!

* * *

Once, the start of the dress rehearsal was postponed, first for an hour, then for another 15 minutes. They were waiting for a representative of the district committee - a very middle-aged lady, an honored worker of culture. Ranevskaya, who had not left the stage all this time, in great irritation asked into the microphone:

– Has anyone seen our ZasRaKu?!

* * *

He will die from the expansion of fantasy. (About director Y. Zavadsky.)

* * *

Optimism is a lack of information.

* * *

About roses: “Look, what greatness! You can not tear yourself away from them, do not think about them. They are aging, blossoming before our eyes. The first person to compare a woman to a rose was a poet. And the second is vulgar."

* * *

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

* * *

I am re-reading Babel for the hundredth time and am more and more amazed at this miracle that was killed.

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

* * *

About the director: perpetum male.

* * *

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

* * *

I understood what my misfortune was: I, rather, am a poet, a home-grown philosopher, a “domestic fool” - I don’t get along with life! I buy things to give away. I wear old clothes, always unsuccessful. Freak me.

* * *

I stopped thinking about the public and immediately lost my shame. Or maybe, in the literal sense, “I lost my shame” - I don’t know anything about myself.

* * *

- Oh, you know, Zavadsky has such grief!

- What grief?

- He died.

* * *

Pee-pee in a tram - all that he did in art.

* * *

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

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

* * *

“Before the great mind I bow my head, before the Great heart I kneel” - Goethe. And I am with him. Ranevskaya.

* * *

Do you understand my shallow thought?

* * *

After another skirmish with the chief director of Mosfilm, Ivan Pyriev, Ranevskaya said that she would rather take antipyrin three times a day than agree to joint work.

* * *

They brought an old dog with broken legs. She was treated by kind dog doctors. The dog is much kinder than a person and nobler. Now she is my great and, perhaps, the only joy. She guards me, does not let anyone into the house. God bless her!

* * *

"To the one who asks, give" - the Gospel. What does it mean to give even to those who do not ask? Even what you need yourself?

* * *

Against whom are we friends, girls? (Looking into the room where the actresses were sitting and gossiping violently about someone.)

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 obviously spoke taunts to another, tiny and weak, and as a result poked him in the head with his beak. Everything, like people.

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

Two plays were sent for reading.

One was called "Vitaminchik", the other - "Where are the police looking?".

Ranevskaya roamed the theaters. Theater critic Natalya Krymova asked:

- Why all this, Faina Georgievna?

- I was looking for ... - Ranevskaya answered.

- What were you looking for?

- Holy Art.

- In the Tretyakov Gallery ...

Today I visited Shchepkina-Kupernik, who spoke about the corrector, who remade the phrase "... Mars and Venus stood on a stone" into "MARKS and Venus."

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

Today I met my first love. He mumbles with false teeth, and what a charm it was ...

We are both ashamed of our old age.

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.

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!

A neighbor, the widow of the Moscow Soviet chief, changed Romanian furniture for Yugoslav, Yugoslav - for Finnish, was nervous. She supervised the loaders ... And she died at the age of 50 on a furniture set. Girl!

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.

Most strong feeling- a pity.

The old face did not become my tragedy - at the age of 22 I already put on make-up as an old woman and got used to and fell in love with the old women in my roles. And recently she wrote to my peer: “Old women, I loved you, be vigilant!”

Knipper-Chekhova, a marvelous old woman, once told me: "I only started to wear perfume in my old age."

Old women are vicious, and by the end of life there are bitches, and gossips, and scoundrels ... Old women, according to my observations, often do not have the art of being old. And to old age it is necessary to get good from morning to evening!

* * *

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.

Companion of glory - loneliness.

I'm trying to remember if I've seen any humanoids in the movies in 26 years? Perhaps one Chernyak, who died of decency.

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.

* * *

Strange - absolutely devoid of (shadow) religious, I love religious music to a passion. Handel, Gluck, Bach!

* * *

With rapture, I would beat the faces of all hacks, but I endure. I endure ignorance, I endure lies, I endure the miserable existence of a semi-beggar, I endure and will endure until the end of my days. I even tolerate Zavadsky.

I learned the horror of loneliness ... It's a big job to live in the world. And such sadness, such sadness... I'm lonely...

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

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

Horseradish, put on the opinions of others, provides a calm and happy life.

Under the very beautiful tail peacock hides the most common chicken ass. So less pathos, gentlemen.

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

Why are all women so stupid?

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.

Life is a long jump from n * zdy to the grave.

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

For an actress, there are no disadvantages if it is necessary for the role.

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

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

Beautiful people shit too.

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

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

I hate you. Wherever I go, everyone looks around and says: “Look, this is Mulya, don’t annoy me, she’s coming.”

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

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

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

Pee-pee in a tram is all he did in art.

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

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

Actress stories

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

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

Ranevskaya was asked: “Which women, in your opinion, tend to be more faithful brunettes or blondes?” Without hesitation, she replied: "Greys!".
Once in the theater, a young capricious actress declared: "The pearls that I will wear in the first act must be real." “Everything will be real,” Ranevskaya reassures her, “Everything: pearls in the first act, and poison in the last.”
😀😀😀

Oh, you know, Zavadsky has such grief!

What grief?

He died.

Ranevskaya spoke with envy to Evgeny Gavrilovich, who lived in his last years at the House of Cinema Veterans:

“It’s good for you: you came to the dining room - there are people all around, sit and eat for pleasure! And I sit down at the table all alone ... Eating alone, my dear, is just as unnatural as shitting together!

Let the idiots and clowns out of your life. The circus must tour.

It seems that God loves the sufferers. Have you ever seen a happy genius? No, everyone was ruffled by life, like a blade of grass in the wind. Happiness is a concept for average citizens in all respects, and there is no justice here.
😀😀😀

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

There is such love that it is better to immediately replace it with execution.

Better be a good man, "swearing" than a quiet, well-mannered creature.

Now I looked at the photo for a long time - the eyes of the dog are surprisingly human. I love them, they are smart and kind, but people make them evil.

Faina, - her old friend asked, - do you think medicine is making progress?

But how. When I was young, I had to undress every time I went to the doctor, but now it’s enough to show my tongue.

😀😀😀

This doctor is amazing! He cured all my illnesses literally in a minute, - Faina Georgievna remarked sarcastically after visiting the doctor.
- How?

He said that all my illnesses are not illnesses, but symptoms of approaching old age.

Ranevskaya was asked:

How are you feeling, Faina Georgievna?

The liver, heart, legs, head hurt. Well, I'm not a man, otherwise the prostate would get sick.

😀😀😀

Either I'm getting old and stupid, or today's youth is like nothing! - complained Ranevskaya. “Before, I just didn’t know how to answer their questions, but now I don’t even understand what they are asking about.

Faina Georgievna, what is love?

Ranevskaya thought and said:

But I remember that it is something very pleasant.

You won’t believe it, Faina Georgievna, but no one has kissed me yet, except for the groom.

Are you bragging, my dear, or are you complaining?

😀😀😀

Ranevskaya dined in a restaurant and was dissatisfied with both the kitchen and the service.

Call the director, - she said, having paid.

And when he came, she offered him a hug.

What's happened? - he was confused.

Hug me, - repeated Faina Georgievna.

But why?

Goodbye. You won't see me here again.

Sometimes it seems to me that I am still living only because I really want to live. For 53 years, a habit has developed to live in the world. The heart works sluggishly and all the time makes attempts to stop serving me, but I order him: “Fight, cursed, and don’t you dare stop.”

Faina Georgievna Ranevskaya

Occupation:

Date of Birth:

Date of death:

Faina Georgievna Ranevskaya - Soviet theater and film actress. Modern journalists are called "one of the greatest Russian actresses of the 20th century" and "the queen of the second plan." In the modern public consciousness, Ranevskaya is most often associated with many of her own aphorisms, most of which have become "winged".

One of the biographers of Faina Georgievna Matvey Geyser wrote: “The most paradoxical thing in the acting fate of Ranevskaya is that she played dozens of such roles in the theater and cinema, about which the writer-humorist Emil Krotky remarked: “His name did not leave the poster, where he is invariably figured among “et al.””. Despite the small, sometimes episodic, images, the audience and directors noticed the actress after the first film role - Mrs. Loiseau in Mikhail Romm's silent drama "Dumb". She did not play in the cinema as often as in the theater, saying that "the money is eaten, but the shame remains." Nevertheless, on the movie screen, Ranevskaya reincarnated as a considerable number of characters - she was, among others, the hot-tempered lady Lyalya in the comedy Foundling, the housekeeper Margarita Lvovna in the musical comedy Spring, and the evil stepmother in the classic fairy tale Cinderella. The “housekeeper” Freken Bock speaks in a remarkable low voice Ranevskaya in the cartoon “Carlson is back”.

Everyone knows Faina Ranevskaya's quotes. In principle, the current fame of Faina Georgievna is largely due to her well-aimed witticisms and aphorisms. Why her acting talent was not appreciated, but Ranevskaya's statements are still popular is a mystery to everyone ... We have collected Ranevskaya's most successful quotes.

The best funny aphorisms of Faina Ranevskaya

Sclerosis cannot be cured, but it can be forgotten.

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

I feel myself, but not well.

Why are all women so stupid.

Baldness is a slow but progressive transformation of the head into a f...pu. First in form, then in content.

My dear, if you want to lose weight - eat naked and in front of a mirror!

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

When I retire, I will do absolutely nothing. The first months I will just sit in a rocking chair.
- And then?
- And then I'll start to swing.

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

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

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

And what nature does to man.

God made women beautiful to be loved by men, and stupid to be loved by men.

The queen of the second plan and the queen of aphorisms, most of which became winged, lived a long, eventful life, full of drama and loneliness. It is quite possible that it was loneliness that influenced Ranevskaya's specific sense of humor. Not everyone will be able to give out joke after joke almost all their lives (the actress lived for 88 years). Many believe that the actress came up with the witticisms on purpose. But Faina Georgievna didn’t even come up with quotes and aphorisms, but they simply came to her by themselves, involuntarily - bang, a new funny statement is ready.

Apt quotes about men, women and love

Ranevskaya performed at one of the literary and theatrical evenings. During the discussion, a girl of about sixteen asked: - Faina Georgievna, what is love? Ranevskaya thought and said: - I forgot. And after a second she added: - But I remember that this is something very pleasant.

- Faina Georgievna, what does a woman look like if you put her upside down? - To the piggy bank. - And the man? - On a hanger.

Here you get married - then you will understand what happiness is But it will be too late.

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

Ranevskaya returns from the tour. Coupe conversation. One says: "I'll return home and confess everything to my husband." Second: "Well, you are brave." Third: "Well, you're stupid." Ranevskaya: "Well, you have a memory."

Having gone - having nothing to do on tour during the day - to the zoo, the artists saw unusual deer, on whose head instead of two horns flaunted as many as four. Replicas were heard: - What a strange animal! What's the focus? - I think, - Ranevskaya boomed, - that this is just a widower who had the imprudence to marry again.

Once Faina Ranevskaya asked Anna Akhmatova: - Who is the husband of a sheep? Akhmatova said: - Sheep, so there is nothing to envy.

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

- You will not believe it, Faina Georgievna, but no one has kissed me yet, except for the groom. Are you boasting, my dear, or are you complaining?

A real man is a man who remembers a woman's birthday exactly and never knows how old she is. A man who never remembers a woman's birthday but knows exactly how old she is is her husband.

More than anything in my life, I loved falling in love.

A scandalous person, a lonely and vulnerable soul, a caustic lady with a thick voice, a homegrown philosopher with a cigarette and just an actress who can replace the whole group with herself. This is all - Faina Ranevskaya. She has a lot of various awards and titles, has played more than four dozen roles in cinema and theater. At the same time, Ranevskaya spoke not at all flatteringly about her filming in films: “The money is eaten, but the shame remains.” Despite this sarcasm, the audience remembered the images of her movie heroines forever, which is especially valuable, given that the actress did not have the main roles. The apt phrase about money is just one of the witty phrases that she left behind. In principle, Faina Georgievna's statements were not very optimistic ... Ranevskaya's quotes are funny and sad at the same time.
