The most popular quotes about love and women in the books of Victor Pelevin
Love had no meaning at all. But it gave meaning to everything else. (The Sacred Book of the Werewolf).
If you want to be happy in love, never think about it. ("Batman Apollo")
A woman must have remarkable intelligence and willpower in order to learn to track and suppress this ancient hypnosis of the flesh, which disfigures her character and deprives her of competitiveness in the biological market)
The relationship between a man and a woman lacks the trusting and frivolous simplicity that exists between friends who decide to breastfeed together. ("Batman Apollo")
Victor Pelevin - an extraordinary writer of our time
Just love. When you feel it, you no longer think about whose it is, why, why. You don't think at all anymore. ("Chapaev and Emptiness")
Love, in essence, arises in solitude, when its object is not nearby, and it is directed not so much at the one or the one you love, but at an image built by the mind, loosely connected with the original. ("Chapaev and Emptiness")
There are so many hooks and fasteners on women - even on completely naked women... And each one needs to be unfastened with care and attention, otherwise nothing will come of it... (Batman Apollo)
I have long noticed that women cannot stand chatter about a person’s unreality. Maybe due to its biological function? After all, they give birth to children, and this difficult, painful task also becomes quite stupid if there is only an illusion around them. ("Batman Apollo")
Victor Pelevin. Quotes
Everything beautiful that can be in a person is inaccessible to others, because it is truly inaccessible even to the one in whom it is.
"Chapaev and Emptiness"
In fact, the words “come to your senses” mean “come to others,” because it is these others who explain to you from birth what efforts you must make on yourself in order to take the form that pleases them.
"Chapaev and Emptiness"
We are alive as long as we have hope. And if you have lost her, under no circumstances allow yourself to guess about it.
"The Recluse and the Six-Fingered"
Love, in essence, arises in solitude, when its object is not nearby, and it is directed not so much at the one or the one you love, but at an image built by the mind, loosely connected with the original.
"Chapaev and Emptiness"
Beauty does not belong to a woman and is not her own property - just at a certain time in her life, her face reflects beauty, like window glass - the sun invisible behind the roofs of houses. Therefore, it cannot be said that female beauty fades over time - the sun simply moves further, and the windows of other houses begin to reflect it. But the sun, as you know, is not at all in the glasses we look at. It's in us.
"The Sacred Book of the Werewolf"
There is beauty that is obvious, generally accepted and evokes market rather than personal feelings
"Empire "V"
Still, by and large, all men are the same, and they only need one thing from us. And it’s also good if necessary.
"The Sacred Book of the Werewolf"
I will build a labyrinth in which I can get lost with anyone who wants to find me.
"Helm of Terror"
There are so many hooks and fasteners on women - even on completely naked women... And each one needs to be unfastened with care and attention, otherwise nothing will come of it...
"BeEmpire V"
There is an expression: “A thought expressed is a lie.” I’ll tell you that an inexpressible thought is also a lie, because in any thought there is already an utterability.
"Chapaev and Emptiness"
Reading is communication, and the circle of our communication makes us what we are. Just imagine that you are a truck driver in life. The books you read are like fellow travelers you take into the cabin. If you transport cultured and deep people, you will gain intelligence from them. If you drive fools around, you will become a fool yourself. Being a detective is... It's like giving an illiterate prostitute a ride for a blow job.
"The Sacred Book of the Werewolf"
Man, in his pride, found the creator's tricks of little interest and began to show more curiosity about things that were created simply as decoration. This offended God, and from then on he began to show man only such tricks that capture his entire attention.
"Feeding the Crocodile Khufu"
This whole world is a joke that the Lord God told himself. And the Lord God himself is the same.
"Chapaev and Emptiness"
God is just a brand on the cover. Well promoted brand. But the text is written by all the surrounding demons, who are not too lazy.
"t"
Nobody really understands anything about this world.
"Generation "P""
When many people believe in the reality of a certain object (or process), it begins to manifest itself: religious miracles occur in the monastery, class struggle flares up in society, in African villages the poor people cursed by the sorcerer die at the appointed time, and so on - there are endlessly many examples, because that this is the basic mechanism of life.
Macedonian criticism of French thought
Each nation (or even a person) must necessarily develop its own religion itself, and not wear rags infested with other people’s lice - all diseases come from them...
"Empire "V""
Scientists seriously think that intelligence arises because chemical and electrical processes occur in the brain. This is the same as considering the television as the cause of the movie playing on it. Or the reason for human existence.
"The Sacred Book of the Werewolf"
Man is not a separate being, as he imagines himself, but a wave passing through a single ocean of life...

Everything in the world is just a whirlpool of thoughts, and the world around us becomes real only because you become this whirlpool yourself.
"Chapaev and Emptiness"
And it also seemed to me that we were all just sounds flying from under the fingers of an unknown pianist, just short thirds, smooth sixths and dissonant sevenths in a grandiose symphony that none of us could hear in its entirety.
"Chapaev and Emptiness"
As a child, you are happy because you think so when you remember him. In general, happiness is a memory.
"Ontology of Childhood"
While idiotic adults are busy rebuilding their imaginary world, children continue to live in reality - among snowy mountains and sunlight, on the black mirrors of frozen ponds and in the mystical silence of snow-covered night courtyards.
"Chapaev and Emptiness"
Fear always attracts exactly what you fear. And if you are not afraid of anything, you become invisible. The best disguise is indifference. If you are truly indifferent, no one who could harm you will simply remember or think about you.
"Chapaev and Emptiness"
Each passing second, with all that was in it, disappears, and not a single person knows what he will be like in the next one. And will it happen at all? And won’t the Lord God get tired of creating these seconds one after another with all that they contain? After all, no one, absolutely no one can guarantee that the next second will come. And the moment in which we really live is so short that we are not even able to catch it in time and are only able to remember the past. But what then really exists and who are we ourselves?
"Yellow Arrow"
I suspect that every time we go to sleep, we die in the same way.
And the sun goes away forever, and the whole story ends. And then non-existence gets boring with itself, and we wake up. And the world arises again. When you wake up, you reappear out of nowhere every time.
And everything else is exactly the same. And death is the replacement of the familiar morning awakening with something else, which is completely impossible to think about. We don't have the tool for this because our mind and the world are one and the same. Generation "P"
The question of what awaits us after death is as meaningless as the question of what awaits Harlequin after a costume ball. Nothing awaits him, because Harlequin exists only as a mask. It seems to me that it is more correct to say that something awaits us in life. And death is an awakening from life. But we are not the ones who awaken from it, because we ourselves are just as much an illusion as everything that surrounds us. When we die, we wake up from what we thought we were.
"Rules of life"
... death, I realized, is just a dream that becomes deeper every second - a dream from which you wake up not to where you were before, but to another dimension. And who knows how long he might be dreaming about?
"Empire V"
The brain does not create perception and being at all. The brain simply makes a shopping list - selects those elements of the infinitely possible that must be experienced in human life. It is just a crude electromechanical filter that allows a person to see through the narrow holes of words. And only through these holes. In fact, a person is allowed to perceive only the program embedded in him - human language. That is why he is human.
"BaBeThe Holy Book of the Werewolf"
A revelation of any depth and breadth will inevitably run into words. And the words will inevitably run into themselves.
"Generation "P"
Creating and reflecting are the same thing. We think that words reflect the world in which we live, but in reality they create it.
"Empire V"
... we live not among objects, but among sensations supplied by our senses. What we take for stars, fences and mugs is simply a set of neural stimuli. We are tightly locked in the body, and what seems to us to be reality is simply an interpretation of the electrical signals coming to the brain. We receive photographs of the external world from our senses.

Living among illusions is as natural for a person as it is for a grasshopper to sit in the grass.

"Generation P"
No person in the world can be happier with his body. And the human body is unhappy by nature. It's busy dying slowly
"The Sacred Book of the Werewolf"
The man is somewhat similar to this train. He is just as doomed to forever drag behind him from the past a chain of dark, terrible carriages inherited from no one knows who. And he calls the meaningless roar of this random combination of hopes, opinions and fears his life. And there is no way to escape this fate.
"Chapaev and Emptiness"
It is very easy to tell someone else how to live and what to do. I would explain everything to anyone. And he would even show which lights to fly to and how. And if you have to do the same thing yourself, you sit still or fly in a completely different direction.

"Generation "P"
About ten years ago, a new pair of sneakers, brought by a distant relative from overseas, became the starting point of a new period in life - the design of the sole was like a pattern on the palm, by which one could predict the future a year in advance. The happiness that could be derived from such an acquisition was immeasurable. Now, in order to earn the right to the same amount, you had to buy at least a jeep, or even a house... Inflation of happiness.
"Generation "P"
It is not things that are always advertised, but simple human happiness. They always show equally happy people, only in different cases this happiness is caused by different acquisitions. Therefore, a person goes to the store not for things, but for this happiness, but they don’t sell it there.

Life is a narrow strip between the fire of suffering and the ghost of a thrill, where the so-called free person runs, howling in horror. And this whole corridor is only in his head.
"SNUFF"
When your mind is completely calm and serene, you seem to notice the simplest and most obvious layer of the world. Which is always there, but hidden under the worries that are constantly boiling in your head. Ordinary people don’t even notice this obviousness - for them it exists only as a background for worries. The human head always has worries. We are constantly worried about something incomprehensible, and every second this incomprehensible something seems very important. We constantly try not to lose sight of it, to keep everything under control, although what we try to keep under control always turns into something else...
BeEmpire V People are constantly chasing the visions that appear in their heads. But for some reason they are chasing them not inside the head, where these visions arise, but in the real physical world, onto which the visions are superimposed. And then, when the visions dissipate, the person stops and says - oh, mom, what was that? Where am I and why am I and how now? And this regularly happens not only to individuals, but also to entire civilizations.

Unclear. This time they didn’t even explain anything. Previously, in such cases, at least a world war was organized out of respect for the public. And now no backup dancers at all.

And not a single channel dared to object.

— What does a glamor revolution mean? Are glamorous ladies doing it?

A person thinks that he is making money for himself. But in reality he extracts them from himself. Life is arranged in such a way that he can get a little money for personal use only if he produces significantly more for someone else. And everything that he gets for himself tends to strangely leak between his fingers...
"Empire "V"
A person strives for money, because otherwise he will die of hunger if he begins to strive for something other than money.
"Empire V"
Whatever the name of a human profession, it is simply a section of a quarry for making money. A person works in it all his life. He calls it a “career”... Don’t think that I’m gloating, but a modern office workplace - a cubicle - even looks like a cattle stall. Only instead of a tape with food in front of the face of the office worker there is a monitor on which this food is shown in digital form. What is produced in the stall? The answer is so obvious that it has become part of the idiom of a wide variety of languages. The man makes money.
"Empire V"
There is no money in the world around a person. There is only the activity of the human mind regarding them.

– Glamor has two main aspects... Firstly, it is a burning, incredibly painful shame for the impoverished squalor of one’s life and bodily ugliness. Secondly, this is vindictive gloating at the sight of poverty and squalor that another person failed to hide...
"Empire "V"
Nothing is wretched or ugly in itself. We need a point of reference. For a girl to understand that she is a poor ugly woman, she needs to open a glamor magazine where she will be presented with a super-rich beauty. Then she will have something to compare herself with... this is necessary so that those whom glamor magazines turn into poor freaks continue to finance them from their meager funds!
"Empire "V"
The purpose of glamor is precisely to make a person’s life pass in a cloud of shame and self-contempt. This state is a direct result of consuming images of beauty, success and intellectual brilliance. Glamor and discourse plunge their consumers into squalor, idiocy and poverty. These qualities are, of course, relative. But they make you really suffer. The entire human life passes through this experience of shame and squalor.
"Empire "V"
…the need for glamor arises when natural sex appeal disappears.
"Empire "V""
If we want to hide a certain object from people, it is enough to make sure that no one ever thinks about it. To do this, it is necessary to keep human thinking under supervision, that is, to control discourse. And the power over discourse belongs to the one who sets the boundaries. Once boundaries are set, a whole world can be hidden beyond them.
"Empire V"
The main idea that a person is trying to convey to others is that he has access to much more prestigious consumption than they might think about him. At the same time, he tries to explain to others that their type of consumption is much less prestigious than they were naive to think.
"Empire "V""
The human mind today is subject to three main influences. This is glamor, discourse and so-called news. When a person is fed advertising, expertise and the events of the day for a long time, he has a desire to be a brand, an expert and news himself. This is why latrines of the spirit exist, that is, Internet blogs. Blogging is a protective reflex of a mutilated psyche, which is endlessly torn by glamor and discourse.
"Empire "V"
A person always goes online with the anticipation that he will now catch something valuable, interesting and necessary from the ocean of information. And what happens after three or four hours? He gets up from behind the monitor with the feeling that a herd of pigs has rushed through his soul. Moreover, I would say, evangelical pigs - which were previously possessed by all the Middle Eastern evil spirits. The man swears that he will no longer waste time on this garbage dump. And tomorrow he repeats the same experience.

“Chapaev and Emptiness”: quote about Inner Mongolia and other statements
“Chapaev and Emptiness” is the author’s third work, published in 1996. It was published in several editions and is considered Pelevin's most powerful novel. In it, the author attempted to combine the incompatible: at the center of events lie the relationship between V. Chapaev and P. Pustota. In 2013, an interactive version of the work was released for iPad, which proves the popularity of the book.
Inner Mongolia is not called that because it is inside Mongolia. It is inside the one who sees emptiness, although the word “inside” is completely inappropriate here. And this is not really Mongolia, they just say so. What would be stupidest would be to try to describe to you what it is. Take my word for at least one thing – it’s very worth striving there all your life. And there is nothing better in life than being there.
Inner Mongolia is precisely the place, the place where help comes from.
Listen, life is a theater. The fact is known. But what is talked about much less often is that a new play is performed in this theater every day.
Fragment from the play based on the novel “Chapaev and Emptiness”
A good psychiatrist should avoid drugs - they... Well, how can I explain this to you... Like cosmetics. They don’t solve problems, they only hide them from prying eyes.

Internet distribution is, naturally, not a moral issue, but a technical one. It exists all over the world, but only here it is organized in such a way that portals place forced advertising on pages with pirated links - and are not responsible for anything. In the West they would have been condemned to death long ago, because it can easily be proven that they profit from piracy in this way. This doesn’t happen here, because against the backdrop of big theft, small theft seems unnoticeable and even natural - so, you know, counterpoint in a state fugue.

Inaction is also PR
Victor Pelevin is one of the most extraordinary and at the same time mysterious literary figures of our time. If it is still possible to somehow understand his books, even if his activities are often called absurd, then the details about the author himself can be counted on one hand. Unlike other contemporary writers, the author led an asocial lifestyle. He doesn’t sit and promote himself on social networks and doesn’t give interviews. In other words, it doesn't do anything. This, in fact, is his self-promotion.
"The Life of Insects"
The idea for writing the story came by chance. Victor Pelevin received a book about American insects as a gift from a friend, after which he realized that he would also write a book about insects, but instead of a scientific approach, the reader would receive another dose of the author’s rich imagination.
To get out of a well, you have to fall into it.

Someone very aptly said that it’s time to ban Viktor Pelevin from inventing reality for us. Because much of what is described in his works becomes reality literally simultaneously with the release of the books. Either he writes very quickly, or he predicts... To be convinced of this, you only need to read a few quotes - and you will want to re-read his entire books.

“So,” the lieutenant colonel spoke in a quiet voice, “recently at a closed meeting of army political workers, the time in which we live was defined as pre-war!” The lieutenant colonel fell silent, waiting for a reaction, but in the hall, apparently, they did not understand anything - at least, Mitko and I did not understand anything. “Let me explain,” he said then even more quietly, “the meeting was on the fifteenth of July, right?” This means that until the fifteenth of July we lived in the post-war period, and since then - for a whole month - we have been living in the pre-war period, is it clear or not?

Tatarsky walked to the table, took a pen and wrote in jumping spider-like handwriting: “Poster (clip plot): a long white limousine against the backdrop of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. His back door is open and light shines from it. A sandal sticks out of the light, almost touching the asphalt, and a hand resting on the door handle. We don't see the face. Just light, a car, an arm and a leg. Tagline:

- So, there is such a level of unscrupulous cunning, dear sir, at which a person predicts changes even before they happen, and thanks to this adapts to them much faster than anyone else. Moreover, the most sophisticated scoundrels adapt to them even before these changes occur. - So what? - And the fact that all changes in the world occur solely thanks to this group of the most sophisticated scoundrels. Because in fact, they do not predict the future at all, but shape it, crawling to where, in their opinion, the wind will blow. After this, the wind has no choice but to actually blow from that place.

“This, of course, won’t last long,” said Morkovin. “A year or two will pass and everything will look different.” Instead of all the pot-bellied little things that are credited for trifles, people will take millions of bucks. Instead of jeeps that hit streetlights, there will be castles in France and islands in the Pacific Ocean. Instead of free shooters there will be serious companies.

A hermit, a drug addict, a crazy philosopher—all the names his contemporaries called the writer Viktor Pelevin, they continued and continue to read his phantasmagorical novels. Pelevin is simply the best parodist of this very modernity. His parodies, of course, are not to everyone’s taste, but he does not write for everyone. And while the dissatisfied argue, the mysterious writer simply bursts out with his silent Zen laughter.
AdMe.ru , a long-time admirer of the writer’s work, has collected 25 famous quotes from his works and interviews. Be careful, they are prickly.
- A person does not need three pine trees to get lost - two nouns are enough for him.
- The final truth is always told to a Russian person using obscenities.
- Nowadays, people learn what they think from television.
- Love had no meaning at all. But it gave meaning to everything else.
- It was enough to think calmly for three seconds to understand everything. But where can I get them, these three quiet seconds? Who has them in their life? We not only live, but also die on the run - and are too excited by our own fantasies to stop even for a moment.
- Even when people realize that they are just matrix batteries, the only thing they can do with this guess is sell it to themselves in the form of a blockbuster...
- Did I hear the clap of one hand? There were many times as a child when my mother spanked my butt. I think that's why I became a Buddhist.
- I used to travel a lot and at some point I suddenly realized that no matter where I was going, in fact I was only moving through one space and that space was me.
- What there is no word for, for 99.99% of people does not exist at all.
- What are all the great Russian classics about? About the absolute unbearability of Russian life in any aspect. That's all. There's nothing else there. And the world sucks. And asks for more.
- In fact, the words “come to your senses” mean “come to others,” because it is these others who explain to you from birth what efforts you must make on yourself in order to take the form that pleases them.
- You Russians are generally funny. Because you take everything personally. And you only need to accept money into your account, the rest is spam.
- A smiley face is a visual deodorant. It is usually installed when the user thinks that he smells bad. And he wants to be guaranteed to smell good.
- If you want to be happy in love, never think about it.
- But people still have sex - although in recent years, mostly through a rubber bag, so that nothing disturbs their solitude.
- What may seem like paradise to one person may simply be an unhealthy way of life for another.
- Man is accustomed to seeing the devil everywhere except the mirror and TV.
- The dog looks at the stick, and the lion looks at the one who threw it. By the way, when you understand this, it becomes much easier to read our press.
- Life is very strange. To get out of a well, you have to fall into it.
- It is not things that are always advertised, but simple human happiness. They always show equally happy people, only in different cases this happiness is caused by different acquisitions. Therefore, a person goes to the store not for things, but for this happiness, but they don’t sell it there.
- An anti-Russian conspiracy certainly exists; the only problem is that the entire adult population of Russia is participating in it.
- Since childhood, I have believed that the relationship between a man and a woman lacks that trusting and frivolous simplicity that exists between friends who decide to breastfeed together.
- If you find yourself in the dark and see even the faintest ray of light, you should go towards it, instead of arguing whether it makes sense to do so or not.
- It is very easy to tell someone else how to live and what to do. I would explain everything to anyone. And he would even show which lights to fly to and how. And if you have to do the same thing yourself, you sit still or fly in a completely different direction.
- I WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN what Emptiness is. Just listen very carefully. So. (Silent). You just saw her. This is what she is.

Victor Pelevin fooled the public for so long and masterfully that there was even an opinion among his young fans that in reality Pelevin did not exist. We offer you 35 wise quotes from Victor Pelevin, which were clearly not written by a computer. Although, who knows?...
The main theme of Pelevin’s works is the illusory nature of reality, in which there is always room for many alternative versions of Russian history. His prose defies genre classification - it is an incredible cocktail of postmodernism, absurdism, mysticism, esotericism and satirical science fiction.
Currently, Victor Pelevin's books have been translated into major languages of the world, including Japanese and Chinese. In 2009, he was recognized as the most influential intellectual in Russia according to a survey on the website OpenSpace.ru, and French Magazine included him in the list of the 1000 most influential figures of modern culture.
Pelevin is known for the fact that he is not part of the “literary crowd”, practically does not appear in public and very rarely gives interviews, which became the reason for many rumors that have long surrounded his name: it was claimed, for example, that no Pelevin exists at all. This is not surprising - Viktor Olegovich managed in practice the same as the famous science fiction writer Philip K. Dick - to give his readers a real sense of the meaning of the question: “ How real is reality?” .
At the moment, Pelevin has 11 novels, 3 novellas and countless short stories and essays. Kluber brings to your attention a selection of famous quotes from the works of the most mysterious writer in Russia.
So, here are 35 wise quotes from the works of Victor Pelevin:
A Bug's Life (1993)
“Yesterday, and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and even the day before yesterday also exist only in this second. Only at the moment when you think about them. So if you want to choose light tomorrow and say goodbye to darkness today, then in reality you are simply choosing darkness.” “All life exists for one moment. This is exactly what is happening now. This is a priceless treasure."
Chapaev and Emptiness (1996)
“A TV is just a small transparent window in a spiritual garbage chute.” “Love, in essence, arises in solitude, when its object is not nearby, and it is directed not so much at the one or the one you love, but at an image built by the mind, loosely connected with the original. In order for it to truly appear, you need to have the ability to create chimeras...” “If only there were a soul, there would be ordeals.” “The only way to immortality for a drop of wax is to stop thinking that it is a drop and understand that it is wax. But since our drop itself is only capable of noticing its own form, it spends its entire short life praying to Lord Wax for the salvation of this form, although this form, if you think about it, has nothing to do with it.” “It was difficult to settle on any specific drink. The assortment was large, but somehow second-rate, like at elections.” “Oh, damn this eternal Dostoevschina that haunts the Russian people! And damn the Russian man who only sees her around.” “Don’t bother yourself with things that have nothing to do with the present. We still have to be able to get into the future.” “Russia, in essence, is also the land of the rising sun, if only because it has never truly risen over it.” “Everything beautiful that can be in a person is inaccessible to others, because it is truly inaccessible even to the one in whom it is.” “To escape, you need to firmly know not where you are running, but from where. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly have your prison before your eyes.” “It’s always like this with Russia - you admire and cry, but if you look closely at what you admire, you might vomit.”
Generation "P" (1999)
“A belief that no one shares is called schizophrenia.” “Nothing shows that a person belongs to the lower classes of society more than the ability to understand expensive watches and cars.” “An anti-Russian conspiracy certainly exists; the only problem is that the entire adult population of Russia is participating in it.” “The mercy is that instead of crematoria you have televisions and supermarkets. But the truth is that they have the same function.” “A revelation of any depth and breadth will inevitably run into words. And the words will inevitably run into themselves.” “Don’t look for symbolic meaning in everything, otherwise you will find it. On your own head." “There is no death, because the strings disappear, but the ball remains.”
Cycle “Dialectics of the Transition Period from Nowhere to Nowhere” (2003)
“Modern philosophers are like an international gang of gypsy horse thieves who, at every opportunity, whoop and drive the last remnants of simplicity and common sense into the darkness.” “What is postmodernism? This is when you make a doll doll. And at the same time he is a doll.” “There are many unnecessary books in the world, and very few that are worth remembering, much less keeping.”
The Holy Book of the Werewolf (2004)
“The value of a book is not determined by how many people read it. The greatest books have few readers because reading them requires effort. But it is precisely because of this effort that the aesthetic effect is born. Literary fast food will never give you anything like that.” “Russia lived on its own for a thousand years, and it turned out well, just look at the world map.” “Love does not transform. She just takes off her masks." “When a person is looking for something to confirm his paranoid ideas, he always finds it.” “Still, by and large, all men are the same, and they only need one thing from us. And it’s also good if necessary.” “The greatest books have few readers because reading them requires effort.”
Empire V (2006)
“A smiley face is a visual deodorant. It is usually installed when the user thinks that he smells bad. And he wants to be guaranteed to smell good.” “We do not love those who have done something good for us. We love those to whom we ourselves have done something good. And the more good we did for them, the more we want to do more.” “As long as a butterfly can fly, it doesn’t matter how worn out its wings are. And if a butterfly cannot fly, there is no more butterfly.” “The length of human life was calculated in such a way that people did not have time to draw serious conclusions from what was happening.” “The human mind today is subject to three main influences. This is glamor, discourse and so-called news. When a person is fed advertising, expertise and the events of the day for a long time, he has a desire to be a brand, an expert and news himself. This is why latrines of the spirit exist, that is, Internet blogs. Blogging is a protective reflex of a mutilated psyche, which is endlessly torn by glamor and discourse.”
SNUFF (2011)
“The regime is all those who live well under the regime.”
Refactum
"Snuff"
The novel was published in 2011, its circulation was about 150 thousand copies. In the book, the author talks about new meanings that old words have acquired. Along with this, he exposes the war in the media and talks about true love.
S.N.A.F.F. is life itself, where love is the numerator and death is the denominator. Such a fraction is equal to both zero and infinity - just like Manitou, who seeks it.
A woman is a magical flower, at the sight of which you should experience insanity, strong enough to motivate you to the hardships of childbearing.
Life is a narrow strip between the fire of suffering and the ghost of a thrill, where the so-called free person runs, howling in horror. And this whole corridor is only in his head.
If we talk about my work, I am a creator of reality.
Illustration for the book “S. N.A.F.F. "
Love is a disgusting, selfish and inhuman feeling, because along with obsession with its object comes a ruthless indifference to others.
The strength of modern philosophy lies not in syllogisms, but in aviation support.
Nature is difficult to deceive.
Nothing invigorates you in the morning like fresh resentment.

And I could get a fee
In the work “Generation P” there is a phrase “Sprite is not a cola for Nikola.” After such a slogan, a kvass company appeared on the Russian market under the slogan “Kvass is not cola, drink Nikola.” Marketing Director Nikita Volkov noted in one of his interviews that the advertising slogan for the drink was indeed inspired by a quote from Pelevin’s work. The company wanted to contact the author and thank him for the tip, but there were no contacts. As a result, the trademark was registered without the purchased copyright. To avoid future claims, I ordered a conclusion that the connection between the slogan and the phrase from the book is only indirect and does not constitute plagiarism.
"The Sacred Book of the Werewolf"
The plot is based on the story of the werefox Ah Huli and the young werewolf. The author talks about love and the difficult life path that all living beings go through. Pelevin's goal is to show what actually plays an important role in achieving spiritual harmony.
The dog looks at the stick, and the lion looks at the one who threw it. By the way, when you understand this, it becomes much easier to read our press.
The value of a book is not determined by how many people read it. The greatest books have few readers because reading them requires effort. But it is precisely because of this effort that the aesthetic effect is born. Literary fast food will never give you anything like that.
When a person is looking for something to confirm his paranoid ideas, he always finds it.
I don’t need anything from people at all except love and money.
Love doesn't transform. She just takes off her masks.

Creatiff about Theseus and the Minotaur", "Empire "V", "SNUFF", "DPP NN", etc.The value of a book is not determined by how many people read it. The genius of La Gioconda does not depend on how many visitors pass by it in a year. The greatest books have few readers because reading them requires effort. But it is precisely from this effort that the aesthetic effect is born.
In life, every day you need to learn something new.
Foxes have a basic answer to the basic question of philosophy. It consists in forgetting about the main question.
Chekhov was right: the female soul by its nature is an empty vessel that is filled with the sorrows and joys of its loved one.
Reading is communication, and the circle of our communication makes us what we are.

"Lamp of Methuselah"
At the center of the story is the story of three generations of the Mozhaisky family. The author talks about the problems in economics, politics and culture that have haunted the heroes for centuries.
Russia always has a great past and an even greater future. But with the present it is more difficult.
I realized what everyone in our country understands from time to time: the nineties are not over at all. It’s just that they used to happen to everyone at once, but now they happen individually.
When you try to say something nice to any audience, mistakes often occur, since no audience itself fully knows what is pleasant and what is not, and such unscrupulousness can offend people by showing them what you think about them...
The market is a huge herd of shy sheep. And if all the sheep run away from the dollar together, a financial tsunami will rush over the planet - and will wash away human civilization as we know it today. The horror is that we will not be able to stop this wave - and it will most likely begin on our own Wall Street...
Nothing gives a person such courage as fear. When it becomes impossible to live, it is even curious to die. I took a shower, but didn’t write a goodbye note. Sometimes silence is a sign of disagreement.
SNUFFText
About the relationship between a man and a woman Nature has paved the way for us with flowers to the moment of intercourse, but immediately after it the flowers wither and the hormonally determined distortions of our perception disappear. Nature is also a bitch in its own way - it is extremely economical and does not treat us with psychotropics unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, immediately after the act of love, for a few seconds we clearly see all the madness of what is happening - and we understand that for some reason we got involved in a murky story with an unclear ending, promising us a lot of money and mental torment, the only reward for which is this just ended spasm , which has nothing to do with us personally, but is associated exclusively with the ancient mechanism of reproduction of protein bodies... - You must, of course, understand the most important thing - a woman, as a biological and social agent, has little interest in you looking at her with a sober look for a long time. A strategy for maximizing the essence of a sura may include trying to provoke a jealous reaction in you. To this end, she begins to feign interest in some other man, most often a young member of the household, and in the case of single living couples, a movie character or television announcer. For example, a sura constantly asks the owner to play a snuff with the participation of the selected actor or turn on a news program. Here her behavior may, uh, vary. Sometimes she extols the virtues of a symbolic rival, sometimes she remains silent, allowing the owner to draw conclusions personally. “You want to say that the sura... That is, that the woman deliberately muddies the waters...
- Exactly. So that the raised dregs make invisible those fundamental truths about her role in men's fate that we talked about. Helping to hide them are the strong psychological and emotional overloads to which she subjects her partner, trying by any means to deprive him of clarity of perception. “Bitchiness” is in fact not a bad character trait, but a kind of counterpoint to the reproductive instinct developed by human culture... This, oddly enough, turned out to be one of the best imitation models of female behavior. Do you know how a torpedo shot down from its target works?
If you knock a torpedo off course, she will bat her eyelashes several times, and then, with charming feminine inconsistency, will try to return you to a state of mental stupor, where the fact of her presence in your life again cannot be soberly assessed. All emotions of the dark spectrum can be used as a brain paralyzer - anger, excitement, wounded pride, self-doubt - and, of course, sensual desire.
