Top 10 Best Quotes
“Some men are terrified by the dark nature of the Moon, but not the Devil. The Devil is afraid of nothing he can fuck. And there’s very little the Devil won’t stick his dick in. He’ll bugger the Priest, orgy with Art, and rape the shit out of Justice. The whole of the Universe is the only hole he won’t try to fill.”
“Both Bratva and thieves in law would like to call themselves nihilists and anarchists because they don’t support the established government, but they govern nonetheless, and you can’t be an anarchist unless you follow its rule. Crime and anarchy are no more synonymous than nihilism and existentialism, or fatalism and determinism; so many isms there was bound to be a schism.”

“There are scores of people who have never recovered, or been recovered, from an FSB interrogation. They’re a hard organization to describe because nothing like the FSB exists in the USA.

“When corporate executives get really excited, they leverage their learnings against comprehension to revolutionize English.”
“Sure, a man’s home is his castle, but if he shares it with a woman, he knows his rule is limited.”
“In Russia, unwarranted smiles mark a person as either a hustler or an imbecile.”
“The classic caricature of a Russian knocking back shot after shot of vodka is not a misrepresentation.”
“The birth of a legend is the death of a hero. Every man wishes to die a hero. A hero’s death is glorious!”
